Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Hurricane Sandy Weather Report for Hatteras Island:

Well no fishing today.  We have had one wet and windy day here in Frisco NC.  We have had north-east winds 20-30 mph with gust to 55 mph.  One report of a 72 mph gust here today.  The temperatures were in the upper 60’s.  It has rained all day today and the ocean has washed over at multiple places on the island from the ocean and sound.  South of Oregon Inlet, Mirlo Beach in Rondanthe, The north end of Buxton and in between Frisco and Hatteras have ocean overwash.  Tonight the rain should subside and the wind will switch to the north-west and still blow 20-40 mph.  We have soundside flooding now and we are unsure how much more the sound will rise once the winds switch to the north-west.  We have posted some pictures on our facebook site throughout the day from people around the island.  We should be open tomorrow around 6 am as long as the sound tide does not rise much more than today.   We hope everyone stays safe from here all the way up the east coast who are in Hurricane Sandy’s path.

Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Outer Banks Fishing Report for Hatteras Island:  Today the weather in Frisco was rainy all day with lots of wind.  Hurricane Sandy’s rain bands have set in and will be here for another 24 hours.  We had north-east winds 15-25 with mph with gusts to 38 mph and the temperatures were in the mid 70’s.  Hurricane Sandy’s path is unchanged.  It’s still projected to push-off the coast until it gets just east of NC and track towards the north-east coast.  They are calling for tropical storm conditions tomorrow and Monday.  North-east winds 30-40 mph with gusts to 55 mph are expected tonight and tomorrow north winds 37-47 mph with gusts to 60 mph and Sunday night winds from the north-west 40-50 mph with gusts to 65 mph.  Flooding is expected from the sound once the winds go to the north-west.  Ocean over wash has already occurred at the Mirlo Beach area on the north end of Rondathe at times of high tide and that is expected to be worse in the coming days.

We actually had some folks buy some bait this morning.  No reports of them catching anything though.
