Hatteras Island Fishing Report


Hot and humid conditions today. Good day for swimming in a pool or hanging out in the ac. We had a high temperature of 86F this afternoon. Winds right now are out of the SW at 19mph. Looks like more of the same conditions tomorrow with a slight chance of rain in the am.

Word from the surf has been non-existent. Choppy waters combined with the heat have slowed things down a bit.

There are reports of some Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish but you had to be out there in the early am to get them.

Offshore was the same, slow and scrappy. Most boats went bottom fishing and had good results there. There were some Dolphin and Wahoo brought back as well.

Tuna Duck released a Sailfish.

Inshore is still good with Speckled Trout and Red Drum.

Berkley GSSM3-PK Gulp Swimming Mullet, 3″ 11Pk, Pink

Ideal for all saltwater species. Swimming tail action irresistible to fish. Rapid scent dispersion attracts fish from greater range.
