Hatteras Island Fishing Report

Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Fishing Report for Hatteras Island.

Today was partly cloudy early in the morning with sunshine the rest of the day.  We had south-east winds 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the low 80’s.

Fishing was good today.  The Buxton beaches had reports of sea mullet, pompano, bluefish and sheepshead.   Out at Cape Point more big red drum were caught along with plenty of sharks and rays.  The Frisco beach over ramp 49 had some real good sea mullet catches, some nice flounder up to 18 in and pompano..  Down on the Hatteras beach there were sea mullet, puppy drum, bluefish and croakers caught.

The inshore boats had a excellent day of cobia fishing.  The offshore fleet had some decnet dolphin catches and a sailfish released.

The fourth and final day of the Hatteras Village Offshore Open had 2 blue marlins released.   Below is the final leader board for the tournament.  No Blue Marlins were boated.
