Here is your Hatteras Island Fishing Report: The weather today was not as nice as one would like, but it wasnt horrible either. Wind blew out of the SW 10-15 mph today, which should have slowed beach fishing up, however it did not. Temps ranged from high 70’s to mid 80’s all day.
Beach Fishing was decent once again today. Pompano and Sea Mullet were abundant throughout the southern beaches. One lady came in and weighed a 2 lb 2 oz Pompano and didn’t even sign citation papers because she had just signed for a 3 lb Pompano the day before. There were also sightings of Spanish Mackerel jumping from Ramp 55 (Hatteras Beach).
Inshore Charters reported good catches of Spanish Mackerel and a few Bluefish mixed in. Not too many Flounder, but a few were around.
Offshore Charters had another good day on Dolphin by limiting out on Bailers and Gaffers, but not quite as crazy as yesterday.There were also reports of 1 Blue Marlin and 3 Sailfish that came out of Hatteras Harbor Marina. Teachs Lair Marina reported several white marlin released, one boat caught 4. Tomorrow the forecast is calling for Thunderstorms and wind blowing SW at 15-20 mph, but it has called for Thunderstorms for the last week and we’ve only seen one early one morning. Also the wind seemed to be shifting NW when we stepped outside of the store a few moments ago. So best advice is to wake up and checkout whats going on when you want to go. Sometimes the best fishing can come in the worst conditions.
