• Hatteras Island Fishing Report

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

    Today was sunny and windy.  We had south-west winds 15-20 mph and the temperatures were in the low 70’s.  The Buxton and Avon beaches have been more productive.  Some sea mullet and croakers have been caught, along with blow toads and a few bluefish.  The Frisco beach was producing good amounts of bluefish reported by one customer.  The blow toads and sea mullet were caught pretty good from the Frisco and Hatteras beaches.  The big drum are still being caught just outside Hatteras Inlet from the inshore charters.  The spanish mackerel and albacore have been caught further south from Hatteras.  The offshore fishing was pretty good today.  Some nice wahoo were caught, the biggest was a citation at 41 lbs.  A few boats had a real good dolphin catches and a few yellowfin and blackfin tunas.  Good bottom fishing today as well.  Vermilion snappers, triggerfish and golden tilefish were all caught.   One white marlin was released by the “Tuna Duck”.  The picture below is from the “Tuna Duck” today.  A pretty cool shot of the white marlin jumping.

    Today was mostly sunny.  We had north-east winds 5-10 mph and the temperatures were in the upper 60’s.  Around the Buxton beaches blow toads and sea mullet were caught, along with a few croaker. The Frisco and Hatteras beaches had blow toads and good bluefish.  The inshore boats caught some spanish mackerel and albacore.  The offshore fishing was a little slow but some quality fish were caught.  Some boats had a mix bag of wahoo, some citation size, dolphin and blackfin tuna, also some citation size.  A couple of boats really caught the wahoos that went way south south-east.  One boat had good success with tilefish and amberjack on the bottom.  Below is a good picture of a kid and his dolphin aboard the “Godspeed”.

  • Godspeed, Cap’n B

    Yesterday morning I drove past Hatteras Harbor Marina on my way to work and noticed almost all the boats were at the dock. The Captains and Mates that were around were working hard on boat maintence and projects.  They were tied up at the dock instead of out fishing because the wind was blowing and blowing pretty hard.  It made me think about Cap’n B.  He would not have been tied up unless that weather had a name, as in a Hurricane name.  It would have been rough, it might have been scary, and the charter party would probably be seasick, but the Cap’n B, with Captain Bernice Ballance at the helm, would be out fishing.  He was one of the toughest guys I know.

    Our island has a heavy heart this week, though, because Cap’n B will not be fishing with us anymore.  Last weekend he “crossed the bar” and we will miss him.  He was one of the few people I knew who always had a smile for you. He was fun to be around and be with.  He fished hard all through the years on his charter boat, the Cap’n B, he was a businessman and veteran.  He enjoyed his friends, enjoyed life, loved his island and loved his family.  Hatteras Island will not be the same without him, and I hope when we think of him we remember all the great times he brought to us.  Godspeed, Captain B.

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

    Today was windy with partly sunny skies.  We had north-west winds 15-20 mph and the temperatures were in the upper 50’s. Windy conditions have made fishing from the surf a little rough.  There were still some sea mullet and blow toads on the Frisco and Hatteras beaches.  No boats fished offshore today due to rough conditions.
