Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Day started off with some heavy rain but the sun came out for the afternoon and evening. Our high temperature of the day topped off at 84F. Winds right now are out of the SW at 14mph. Looks like another pretty day on tap for tomorrow with a chance of a stray shower.

Hopefully anglers will have a better day tomorrow after being washed out earlier today. It has been quiet here in the shop.

Rodanthe Pier- nice King Mackerel caught near sunset

Offshore had a scattered Dolphin bite but a good day for Wahoo. Some bottom fish were also caught.

Inshore boats are still doing really good with Speckled Trout and keeper Red Drum.
