• Hatteras Island Fishing Report

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

    Today was rainy throughout the morning and early afternoon. Temperatures were in the mid 70’s. The wind was 15-20mph from the South turning to light and variable from the North late in the afternoon.

    The wind and rain kept the fishermen in today. After the skies cleared the only fish that were caught were a few Sea-Mullet in Avon. Other than that today was a very slow one.

    There is no inshore or offshore report today.

    For the third day of the 20 th Annual Hatteras Village Offshore Open almost all of the boats took a lay day.
