Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Fishing Report for Hatteras Island.

Today we had sunny skies.   The winds were from the north-west switching to the south-west at 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the mid 80’s

On the Buxton beach some sea mullet, sheepshead and bluefish were reported.  The Frisco beach had some sea mullet and flounder reported. Down on the Hatteras beach some sea mullet, bluefish and flounder were caught.

The inshore boats caught more citation red drum in the Pamlico Sound today.

The offshore fleet in Hatteras had a pretty decent day of dolphin fishing, a few blackfin tunas and yellowfin tunas were pretty good way up the beach.  The bottom fishing was good today with b liners, triggerfish and sea bass.  2 blue marlins, a white marlin and 3 sailfish were released today from the charter fleet today.

The “Hatteras Fever II”  with Capt. Buddy Hooper from Buxton NC has won the 55th Big Rock with their 465.3 lb blue marlin.  Congratulations and Great Work!!!
