Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Another beautiful island day. The high was 70 while the low was 55. We’ve had light to gentle winds. Currently it’s 57, feels like 56, with E winds around 4mph. Tomorrow we’ll see temps from ~61-71 and increased winds. Winds are predicted to start off light in the morning and be strong by the evening, steadily increasing in speed throughout the day.

As summer is quickly approaching and the amount of visitors to the island increases, please be mindful of digging holes in the sand. You should never dig a hole deep enough to climb into and should always fill in any holes before leaving the beach. Unfortunately, we are reminded of this today as there was an incident right here in Frisco. Read about it here: NPS News Article. We offer our deepest condolences to the friends and family of this young man.

Toadfish Outfitters has taken the painstaking 3-step process of preparing shrimp and streamlined it.

Introducing the Frogmore Shrimp cleaner. This first-of-its-kind shrimp tool allows you to peel, devein, and butterfly shrimp in one single smooth motion. Elegantly designed and easy to use, it gives you a perfect shrimp every time.

Toadfish Outfitters also gives back. For every product sold Toadfish Outfitters is committed to building new oyster habitats. Oysters act as nurseries for marine animals of all kinds, including shrimp.

How to use:

  1. You insert the tool right below the top of the shell.
  2. Then you push the tool forward, while at the same time sliding the shrimp upwards towards the handle.
  3. The entire shrimp peel will be left on the Frogmore cleaner. And the peeled, deveined, and butterflied shrimp will be left in your hand.
  4. A quick rinse and you’re done.
