Hatteras Island Fishing Report

February 12, 2014

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

The snow has mostly melted and rain showers have set in with the low pressure moving through tonight. We had north-east winds 10-20 mph and the temperatures were in the low 40’s.

The puppy drum bite is still going on along the Frisco and Hatteras beaches. There were even a few speckled trout being caught but had to be thrown back due to the closure.

Hatteras Island Fishing Report

February 11, 2014

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

Today we had steady snow showers all day. We have 6.5 inches of snow on the ground right now. The winds were from the north-east at 15-20 mph with gusts in the 30’s. The temperatures were hanging around 31-32 degrees all day. The roads have been pretty good with mostly slushy snow with very little ice.

Even though we had snow, it did not keep folks from catching those puppy drum. We had reports of some catching over 50 puppy drum on the Frisco Beach today over on Ramp 49. The picture below is PJ Williams with one of many puppy drum he caught today while fishing on the Frisco Beach. Pretty work PJ and thank you for the picture..

Cape Hatteras Notebook: Snowing–Again!

Drum Fishing on Snowy Cape Hatteras Beach

It is snowing at Cape Hatteras for the fourth time this winter. It is the second “big” snow we have gotten and we really can’t believe it! It’s not supposed to snow this much here! It is still coming down and I have 4 to 5 inches on my porch already. This snow event is more user friendly because it is not as icy as last time. Islanders are out and about enjoying the snow. The fishing is even good. My friend Eliza Stowe Powell posted this photograph of her husband and her dad fishing for puppy drum. They had a good catch despite the weather!

Hatteras Beach in the Snow

Dolphin Realty’s staff went for a snowy beach walk this morning across the dune from the Hatteras Cabanas and got this pretty photo at the beginning of the snowfall.

Snow in the Maritime Woods in Frisco

I am home with the baby boys today, so no playing in the snow for me. However the view of the winter woods around my home is lovely!

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in the Snow

Many of you have been helped by Kristie Brown when you stop in the Frisco Rod and Gun. She got to have a very snowy day off today and snapped this shot of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse standing tall in the snowstorm. A rare but pretty sight!

Everyone stay safe and keeps warm in the snow today. Enjoy playing outside and have a bowl of snow cream before it is gone!

Thanks to Kristie Brown, Nancy Scarborough at Dolphin Realty, and Eliza Stowe Powell for the photos!
