Hatteras Island Fishing Report

More rain for the day today. Hoping this dreary weather gives us a break soon. Dangerous rip current alert until 8pm Wednesday. Winds are out of the North tonight at 16mph. Our high temperature made it to 73F.

Sea Mullet, puppy Drum caught on the northern beaches today

Not a whole lot to report on this end of the island. Big Drum were caught up in Nags Head today. Speckled Trout and Drum in the sound.

Some of the big boats made it out of Hatteras. Lots of Dolphin of all sizes and a couple of Blackfin Tuna.

Inshore boats did well with Red Drum, Speckled Trout and Bluefish
