Nice fall day to explore the island or do some fishing. We had a high temperature of 70F. Currently we have winds out of the NE at 11mph. Looks like we have a couple more days of sunshine until rain moves in on Thursday.

Rodanthe Pier- Spot, Sea Mullet, Blues and a puppy Drum

Some boats went offshore today and brought back Wahoo, King Mackerel and Blackfin Tuna. One Sailfish was released by Hatteras Fever II

One boat went inshore and caught their limits of Red Drum.
