Hatteras Island Fishing Report

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

Today was mostly sunny, we had temperatures on the upper 70’s.  The winds were out of the southwest today, blowing around 10-20mph. Sea surface temperature off Cape Point is around 76F.

Hatteras had  pompano, sea mullet and spanish mackerel.  Here at Ramp 49 were a few pompano and sea mullet.  Buxton had bluefish and sea mullet.  Avon Pier had catches of bluefish.

The inshore boats had excellent catches of bluefish and spanish mackerel.

The offshore fleet had great catches of gaffer dolphin and blackfin tuna.   They also had sailfish and white marlin releases.

Today was the first day of the 2019 Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.  It ended the day with 38 billfish releases and 7 brought back to the weigh station.
