Today was beautiful with a high of 81, gentle NE/NNE winds, and Day at the Docks going on! Hatteras was busy with all the activities going on and it sounded like it turned out to be a great day. We heard lots of good things about everyone’s chowder today too.
Water temp was between 74.3 and 76.1 today.
Down in Hatteras there were tons of little fish caught by tiny and mighty anglers. Most of the catches included Spadefish, Blowtoads, Crabs, and Red Drum.
Our very own Thomas Kavanagh won 1st place for the longest fish for the age group 6-8 for his Red Drum catch and release!





River2Sea Whopper Plopper
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.
