Today’s high was 84 but felt hotter because of the humidity. Winds have been gentle to light and N/NE/NNE. Currently it’s 79, feels like 83, with N winds around 6mph. The next few days are likely to include some swells that can cause gnarly rip currents due to Hurricane Earl so it’s advisable to stay out of the water until they’ve passed.
Water temp was between 80.8 and 82.6 today.
In the surf there has been catches of Pompano, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Ribbonfish, Croaker, and Sea Mullet.
Not much word from the sound.
Inshore boats brought in Bluefish and Speckled Trout.
Offshore they caught Dolphin, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, and some bottom fish.


FRG Mens SST 3Dogs
Frisco Rod and Gun Branded Short Sleeve T-Shirt with 3 Dogs Print.
The Frisco Rod and Gun family has had Chesapeake Bay Retrievers as their family and shop dogs for over 40 years now. We have featured Thunder, Rip, Gen, and Sailor on different store tee shirts and they have been the most popular of the designs we have had. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers have been a breed that has proven their worth in the waters around Cape Hatteras, often mascots of the United States Lifesaving Station crews and historically hardy duck hunting partners. Not only that, they have greeted and visited with our customers through the decades!
We would like to introduce our newest generation of Chesapeakes to you on our new design. Taffy with her deadgrass color coat is on the top and litter mates Sadie and Captain are side by side underneath with their dark brown coats. Born and bred in Eastern North Carolina, these three can be found enjoying their Hatteras Island lifestyle of duck hunting, playing on the beach, or going for boat rides in the Pamlico Sound. You may even catch them here hard at work in the store!
Our three dogs join other icons of Hatteras Island on this print. Our famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse that watches over all of us, the renowned gamefish of the surf, the Red Drum, the exciting Gulf Stream catch, the Blue Marlin and a favorite of the duck hunters, the Pintail are all here. Come to Frisco Rod and Gun Outfitters to find what you need to make your own memories and grab a Three Dogs tee or sweatshirt to remind you of your visit with us!
