Hatteras Island Fishing Report

High today was 85 but felt like 90. Thankfully we had more wind today than the past two days. Wind has been SW most of the day between 7-14mph. Currently the wind is blowing about 13mph still out of the SW. Tomorrow winds look like they’re going to switch to WSW and temperature will be about the same as today.

We didn’t hear much about any fish being caught in the surf or sound today but we did get a nice delivery of Mullet this afternoon so hopefully tomorrow will be better.

  • We also have bloodworms, night crawlers, lug worms, and shrimp for bait.

There was one release of a Blue Marlin today. Catches of a few Dolphin and bottom fish were reported. Other than that the fishing was pretty bleak.

Inshore boats had a nice time limiting out on Spanish Mackerel and Red Drum. They also got Bluefish and Speckled Trout.
