Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Merry Christmas to everyone out there! We hope you enjoyed celebrating today with family and friends. Santa brought warm weather and the winds with him to Hatteras. We had a high temperature of 68F today but it sure didn’t feel like it. Right now we have winds out of the SW at 28mph.

If you could get away from the winds there might have been fish to catch, but we did not hear of anything.

The winds are going to die down significantly by tomorrow afternoon and switch directions. Keep your fingers crossed that we can get in some decent fishing before the New Year.
