Hatteras Island Fishing Report

High today was 85. Winds have been out of the SW for most of the day. It’s currently blowing about 8mph. Tomorrow’s temps and winds are looking to be very similar to today. It also looks like the rain that was coming is going to hold off until Friday at some point.

Still a bit quiet in the surf, only heard reports of a few Red Drum being caught.

Offshore boats killed it today after staying tied to the docks for a few days. They brought in Dolphin, Wahoo, Tilefish, Snowy Grouper, Rose Fish, and some bottom fish. There was also a release of a White Marlin.

Inshore boats brought back Red Drum and Speckled Trout and one even had a nice clamming trip.

River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75

River2Sea’s Whopper Plopper, designed by the legendary angler Larry Dahlberg, is his secret weapon for musky fishing. The soft, pliable tail rotates on the harness and creates muskie alluring rumbles at variety retrieve speeds and depths. The tail is designed to withstand the punishment rendered rocks, stumps and muskies.
