Cape Hatteras Notebook: Early Duck Season

October 4, 2014

Duck Hunters get a little taste of a Duck Season in the beginning of October. Yes, it is hot. Yes, it is snaky. Yes, they go anyway. From October 1-4 the mini season runs and it is just enough to get hunters excited about the real deal in the next couple of months.

This week a couple of friends of ours went out to see what might be flying this early and were not disappointed. They chose to hunt up on Bodie Island in the Public Hunt Blinds managed by the Park Service. Getting deep in the woods in the sedge on Hatteras Island is just a little too crowded this early…..crowded by Cottonmouths!

On the first day one friend got a couple of Pintails.

On the next day they shot a couple of Blue Winged Teal.

The information for the next season and the limits for Duck Hunting in our area can be found at North Carolina Wildlife Commission’s webpage.

The early season is over for now, but before you know it will start to get cooler outside, then downright cold. The ducks will be flying our way. And the hunters will be delighted!

Frisco beaches were grassy but some bluefish were caught. Hatteras beach fishing was slow but some drum were caught on the soundside.

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

The weather today started off beautiful winds were north 5-10mph but turned south around mid afternoon. The temperature was around 70 throughout the day.

Fishing from the beaches was good in the morning until the wind shifted. In Avon there was puppy drum, bluefish, spot, and some sea-mullet caught. In Buxton and Frisco the water was to rough and dirty to fish. Some place in Buxton the waves were to the dunes leaving no beach to fish from. In Hatteras there was some flounder and bluefish caught.

Inshore boats found the drum again today and some reported 20+ fish caught. The bluefish were biting today also.

Offshore the dolphin and wahoo fishing was good with limits caught. The black fin tuna were scattered today. Only a few sailfish were released today. From the bottom the amberjack, tilefish, triggerfish, rosefish, and squirrel fish were caught.
