Cape Hatteras Notebook: In the Neigh-borhood

March 24, 2014

The first day of Spring was this week and we are all grateful for it! We are taking advantage of the pretty days to get out and about. More and more signs of warm weather have been popping up around the neighborhood. This weekend was so nice my Mom, Susie, and I took Joe and the twins for a long walk/stroll. Joe and his Grammie walked the boardwalk out to check out the ocean at Ramp 49. He had a great view of the beach and ocean from the top of the dunes. It was a clear day and you could see the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the Cape Point one way and the old Frisco Pier and Hatteras Village in the other direction. Warm enough for short sleeves! We chatted with fishermen as they were coming off the Ramp and were happy to hear that Puppy Drum were being caught all up and down the Frisco Beach that morning.

One day this week as I was driving home from work I spotted a sure sign of Spring for Hatteras Island. The Ospreys have returned! They nest in the maritime forest and fish the waters around us all summer long. I know the warm weather is near when they begin nest building in our neighborhood. I wish them calm winds and happy fishing this summer.

The big news in our “neigh”borhood this week is from our local beach horseback riding stable here in Frisco Village. Equine Adventures announced that the first foal in 20 years was born on Hatteras Island. The little filly was born healthy and is just the sweetest thing! The folks at Equine Adventures have posted on their facebook site asking for name suggestions. Lots of good ones are on there!

New foal born at Equine Adventures this week!

If you love horses a trail ride with Equine Adventures is a wonderful addition to your vacation. They guide you through the maritime forest out to the beach here in Frisco. Riding horseback alongside the sand dunes and the ocean’s waves is a whole different experience then just walking. After you get back from your long ride, come by the Frisco Rod and Gun/Frisco Market for drinks and snacks!

Sunny days, osprey nest building, and new baby horses! Great week on Hatteras Island! Wish you were here!

Today was another nice and sunny day. The winds were from the north-east switching to the south-west at 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the upper 50’s.

Today the ocean calmed down even more by the afternoon. There were a few puppy drum caught out at Cape Point in Buxton. Over on the Frisco Beach at Ramp 49 the action was pretty good-by the afternoon with several puppy drum caught. The picture below is one of the two caught by Jack and his dad on the Frisco Beach. Pretty work guys.

The in shore boats had good catches of puppy drum in the Pamlico Sound today. The offshore fishing was good as well. Some nice catches of blackfin tuna and sea bass.

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

Today was nice and sunny with little wind. The winds were from the west at 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the mid 50’s.

With the ocean swell calming down a bit the puppy drum came back to bite. Out at Cape Point in Buxton and down at Ramp 49 on the Frisco Beach there were a decent amount of puppy drum caught. Tomorrow the fishing should be better with light north winds and the temperatures in the low 60’s.

There is no inshore report today. The few boats that ventured offshore today caught blackfin tuna, a few dolphin and some nice grouper off the bottom.
