Hatteras Island Fishing Report

It’s been a busy day here at the shop. Lots of guests and tournament fishermen in and out throughout the day! We had a high temperature this afternoon of 75F. Sunny and warm again tomorrow as well. Currently we have winds out of the SE at 8mph. So far it looks like the winds will switch over to the SW early tomorrow morning.

Lots of Sea Mullet, small sharks and puppy Drum caught today from Buxton on down to Hatteras. Few decent size Black Drum caught as well.

Rodanthe Pier- Bluefish and puppy Drum caught this morning.

Big boats out of Hatteras had a beautiful day on the ocean and brought back Blackfin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, some Dolphin, Wahoo and a few Triggerfish.

Inshore boats had another spectacular day with Red Drum and a couple citation size Black Drum.

We open at 6am tomorrow and every day for all your bait and tackle needs. We have 300lbs of fresh Mullet and fresh shrimp to get you on your way early.

Good luck to all of the 4Plus 4WD Surf Fishing Tournament contestants!

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
