Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Fishing Report for Hatteras Island. Today we had more sunny skies.  We had south-west winds 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the upper 70’s.

The fishing today was pretty good.  There were a few spanish mackerel, blue fish, spot and some pompano caught off the Avon Pier.  The Buxton beaches had pompano and bluefish caught.   Out at Cape Point in Buxton there were some big drum caught today. Over on the Frisco beach some pompano, bluefish, puppy drum and  black drum were reported.  Below is Whitey with a nice 15 lb black drum he caught off of the Frisco Beach today.  Pretty work Whitey!!!

The picture below is the “Bite Me” charter boat with one of 13 cobia that were caught today and a 36 lb black drum caught by Ty Luckett today aboard the charter boat “Wide Open”.
