• Hatteras Island Fishing Report

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

    The Weather in Frisco was partly sunny.  We had north winds 10-15 mph and the temperatures were in the low 80’s.  With this cool front pushing through and the north winds the ocean has become a little on the rough side.  Fishing was slower today.  Up on the Avon beach there were a few croaker and bluefish caught.  The Frisco beach was slow too.  A couple of pompano and bluefish, that’s about it.  The inshore boats caught lots of spanish mackerel and bluefish.  Some nice speckled trout and a few gray trout were caught.  One customer said they caught a bunch of flounder inside Hatteras Inlet with 19 of them keeper size.  The offshore bottom fish was real good today.  Some nice triggerfish, sea bass, vermilion snappers and grouper were all caught.  The dolphin fishing was slow for most, some boats caught as many as 40.  A few wahoo and blackfin tuna were caught.  The “Release” had two white marlin releases and the “Sea Creature” with one blue marlin release.  They are both fishing The Big Rock Tournament.  Today at The Big Rock Tournament was a lot like yesterday with competitors releasing 10 blue marlins, 11 white marlins, a hatchet marlin and a sailfish.  Only three more days to fish with no blue marlin weighing over 500 lbs brought to the dock which means there is still a lot of money to be won.  Below is the “Sea Creature” with their blue marlin release today in The Big Rock.  Pretty work guys!!!

  • Beach Access Bill H.R. 4094 Moves to the House Floor!

    Image

    H.R. 4094, Congressman Walter B. Jones’ bill to preserve public access to Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area, passed out of the House Committee on Natural Resources this week.  The next step is for the Bill to be heard on the House Floor for a vote. “This is a major win for the people of Hatteras and the state of North Carolina,” said Jones.  Congressman Jones has been working for many years to fight the shrinking access to our National Seashore and to prevent the economic stress on the communities in North Carolina that benefit from the visitation to the Seashore.   “This bill is about jobs and the taxpayers’ right to access the recreational areas they own. It’s about restoring balance and common sense to Park Service management.  I would like to thank the Natural Resources Committee for doing what is right,”  said Jones in a statement this week. 

    The Dare County Board of Commissioners and the Outer Banks Preservation Association have been working with Congressman Jones’ office in support of H.R. 4094.  This is one step in the process, but it is a step to be celebrated! 

    What is next?  Everyone needs to contact their Congressional Representatives to ask for their support of H.R. 4094 so it will pass when the vote comes up. 

    Also, North Carolina Senators Richard Burr and Kay Hagan introduced  Senate Bill S.2372 to preserve pedestrian and ORV access at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area on April 26,2012.  This Senate Bill is still in Committee.  Please call your Senators and ask for their support to get S. 2372 to the Senate Floor!   

     We will update you as things progress and news happens!
