Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Yesterday our site had some downtime for repairs but we’re good to go now! Today’s high was 72 while the low was 52 with light to moderate winds. Gusts up to 25mph. Currently it’s 61, feels like 58, with SSE winds around 9mph. Tomorrow temps should be a little cooler, back in the 60s. Winds are going to increase up to strong speeds. Slight chance of rain tomorrow evening before the 90% chance of rain on Monday.

If you’ve been on Facebook I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures of the Great White Shark caught here on the island by our very own coworker Luke. Check out the Island Free Press post on it here.

In other fishing news, during the maintenance of our site we found a fish picture that got lost amongst the product pictures! This was submitted using the “Show Us Your Fish” feature on our website.
