Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Another week coming to a close and we’re still stuck at this 86F mark. Looks like more of the same weather for the weekend with some scattered showers mixed in both days. Still a bit breezy this evening with winds out of the SW at 15mph.

Frisco beaches were grassy and have not heard much from here.

No offshore report out of Hatteras today. Big boats stayed tied to the docks.

Inshore boats did well with Speckled Trout, Bluefish and Drum

Walk it sideways across the bottom or swim it slowly in the current. You’ll be pleased with its lifelike swimming and feeding action and you’ll be in for some great fishing fun.
