Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Todays high was 77. Winds are currently out of the SSW at about 20mph. Gusts will get up to 39mph this evening. When it wasn’t sprinkling it was nice out there. Looks like rain is coming later around 10-11pm.

Surf catches included Puppy Drum, Croaker, Spanish Mackerel, and Sea Mullet.

Nothing to report from the sound side today.

Inshore boats still slaying the slot-size Red Drum.

Offshore boats brought back more Dolphin to docks. Along with that, Blackfin Tuna and Wahoo. There was also a release of a White Marlin.

Z-Man Texas Eye Jig heads

Melding a weedless Texas rig with a free-pivoting jighead and the prominent strike target of oversized 3D eyes, the Texas Eye Jighead gives anglers an unbeatable one-two punch. Designed to easily shed grass and prevent fouling or snagging on wood, rock, or shell, the flat sided head and upturned line tie eyelet creates a stable jighead with a spoon-like swimming quality when paired with either paddle-tail swimbaits or straight-tail baits. The Texas Eye Jighead features beefy construction that makes it ideal for a variety of applications that require a snag-resistant presentation in fresh- or saltwater, from pitching baits to laydowns for trophy largemouth to plying the Louisiana marsh for bull redfish.

  • Swinging hook design allows for maximum bait action and easy weedless rigging
  • Vivid, oversized 3D eyes present a prominent target for gamefish
  • Molded bait keeper prevents baits from sliding down hook shank
  • Built with heavy-duty 3/0 VMC wide gap hooks
  • Sized to pair perfectly with popular MinnowZ™, DieZel MinnowZ™, and PaddlerZ™ soft plastics for a variety of fresh- and saltwater gamefish
