Here is the Outer Banks fishing report for Hatteras Island: The weather stayed the same today as it was yesterday. Wind still blew out of the SE 15-25 mph. Temperatures ranged from the high 70’s to mid 80’s today. Still have a forcast for a wind change tonight to N 10-15 mph.Beach Fishing today was decent as we heard of quite a few pompano and sea mullet on the south beach. We did weigh one citation pompano today at just over 2 lbs. There were also scattered bluefish along the beach.
Inshore Charters reported a nice day. Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Speckeled and Gray Trout, and Flounder were caught throughout the guides.
Offshore Charters reported a decent day as well. Dolphin fishing was good as gaffer and bailer dolphin were reported. Also a few amberjack. No Billfish were reported throughout our fleet.
The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament came to an end today with the slowest day being today. No billfish were reported being caught at all. The results of the tournament are as follows: Double B(652.8 lbs), Blue Water (580.6 lbs) and Sushi(467.4 lbs). The Release category is as follows: Release (1 Blue, 6 Whites), Jesus Freak (2 Blues, 2 Whites), and Galot 3 (2 BLues, 2 Whites).
Even though fishing was decent today, we expect a better report as soon as this wind switches North and dies down.

Here is your Outer Banks fishing report for Hatteras Island: The weather today was not as nice as it has been in the last couple of days. The wind switched today from N to SW blowing 15-25 mph. It has just started laying out within the last hour, blowing 10-15 mph. Temperatures stayed constant around the low 80’s throughout most of the day.Due to the wind switch, beach fishing died out quickly. We had been hearing of pompano, sea mullet and spanish prior to the wind change. There is a little bit of good news for tomorrow however. The wind is suppose to switch back to NW, hopefully pushing the good fishing back in just as fast as it left.
Inshore Charters did not leave the harbor today
Offshore charters had a nice day as the Dolphin fishing was good once again. The Release, released a Blue Marlin early this morning followed by a White Marlin shortly after. After these fish he was put in first place in the Big Rock’s Release category with 6 Whites and 1 Blue.
The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament leader board remains to look the same with a few exceptions. In the Blue Marlin division Double B still leads (652.8 lbs), followed by Blue Water (580.6 lbs) and Sushi (467.4 lbs). In the Release division the Release leads with 1 Blue and 6 Whites, followed by Jesus Freak (2 Blue, 2 White) and Galot 3 (2 Blue, 2 White).
Today fishing everywhere other than offshore was slow, but with a new wind blows in some promising expectations for tomorrow. Hopefully the sea mullet and pompano make another appearance.

The weather today was decent with winds blowing NE 10-15 mph and sunny skies. The temperatures went from mid 70’s to high 70’s throughout the day. Beach Fishing was a little different today. Here recently sea mullet has been the word, but Spanish Mackerel was the new hot topic. Beach fishermen off of Hatteras Beach reported nice catches of Spanish as they got close to the closure at the inlet. We can only imagine how great of a bite it could have been if the inlet was open. There were also reports of pompano caught off of ramp 49 today. 11 year old, Maxx Bunce, caught a citation sized pompano weighing 2 lbs 1 oz. Congrats Maxx. Inshore fishing reports were also very comforting. Reports of lots of Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Gray Trout and decent sized keeper Flounder. One captain also reported sightings of a couple of Cobia, so they are still wondering around. Offshore Charters also reported a nice day. Good catches of Dolphin, scattered Wahoo, and few Blackfin Tuna. Three billfish were reported out of Hatteras Harbor Marina. Bite Me released 1 sailfish, Sundown released 1 sailfish, and Boss Lady released 1 Blue Marlin. The Big Rock is still rollin’ on strong. Today Sushi weighed in a 467 lb Blue Marlin putting them in 3rd place today.They are behind Double B(1st) with a 652.8 lb, and Blue water (2nd) with a 580.6 lb fish. The wind is expected to switch directions tomorrow to S 10-20 mph and SW 15-25 mph tomorrow evening. Fishing might slow down a little, but you’ll never know unless you toss a line in the water. As we always say “the best time to go fishing is when you have time to go fishing.”
