Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Today’s high temperature was 84F. Winds are out of the SW at14mph. Looks like another nice day tomorrow as well with a slight chance of rain moving in Wednesday.

Lost of action at the point today. Nice size Bluefish run this morning followed by Bluefish and a decent amount of puppy Drum later in the day.

Quiet here in Frisco today.

Offshore boats out of Hatteras had a great day! Several Sailfish and a couple Swordfish were released. Dolphin, Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna were brought back to the docks.

Limits of Bluefish, Speckled Trout and Red Drum for the inshore boats.


Z-Man TEFH18-01PK3 Trout Eye Finesse Jigheads 1/8 oz Red 3 Pack

Featuring the same design and head shape as the standard Trout Eye Jig heads, the finesse version sports a smaller, yet equally strong, 1/0 Mustad® UltraPoint® hook that matches up perfectly with smaller ElaZtech baits like the Slim SwimZ and StreakZ 3.75. Strong enough to do battle with saltwater gamefish like redfish, seatrout, and snook, the Trout Eye Finesse is a great choice for ‘matching the hatch’ when smaller forage abounds. For serious smallmouth anglers, the Trout Eye Finesse is ideal for vertical ‘Damiki Rig’ applications when paired with ElaZtech or conventional plastics.
