Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Hope everyone enjoyed their week here on the island.! We rounded out this week with another warm and sunny day. Our high temperature reached 88F with winds out of the SW at 18mph.

Sea Mullet in Buxton today was all we heard here at the shop. A bit slow again today off of the surf.

Slow day offshore, boats had to work for it. Few Dolphin, some Spanish Mackerel and Grouper.

Calypso released a Sailfish.

Inshore boats had a rough day as well managing some Red Drum and Speckled Trout.

Mirrolure 52M-NS Classic Series Sinking Twitchbait, 3 5/8″, 1/2 oz, 3-D Eyes, Black

As attractive as live bait, these twitchbaits are irresistible to many types of saltwater game fish.
