Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Nearing the end of July and it’s hot and humid. Another day topped off at 86F. Winds right now are out of the South at 11mph.

Chance of thunderstorms again Wednesday morning giving way to cloudy skies for the rest of the day.

Rodanthe Pier- Flounder, Croaker, Bluefish, Sea Mullet, Spadefish, Yellowtail, Speckled Trout, Spanish Mackerel and Pompano

Honestly, surf fishing has been real quiet today. Haven’t heard of anything being caught today here at the shop.

Still Speckled Trout being caught in the sound in waters around 3 to 4 foot.

Offshore boats out of Hatteras- limits of Dolphin and good amounts of Wahoo. Sea Creature released a Blue Marlin

Inshore boats- limits of Speckled Trout and a few Red Drum

Halco RP135#R18 Roosta Popper 135, 5 1/2″, 1 3/4 oz, Red Tiger, Floating

The Halco Roosta is on the cutting edge of modern popper design, with significant new innovations that improve the action and stability of this spectacular surface lure. The head design which is wide at the top transfers to a widened tail end. This unique design creates a popper that is ideal for a straight fast retrieve or a stop and start loop with exceptional splash. The design minimizes cartwheeling and the rattle ensures significant noise coupled with the water spraying action.
