• 6-25-11 Fishing Report

    Here is your Outer Banks fishing report for Hatteras Island: 

    The weather was once again similar to the weather  the last few days. SW winds blowing 10-20 mph with cloudy skies.

    Beach Fishing was slow again today due to the SW wind. We had one fisherman report of catching small spot and croaker early on. The forecast still calls for thunderstorms with a SW wind for the next week with a break tomorrow. There is a slight chance of the wind switching to NE tomorrow, according to the weather channel.

    Inshore Charter Guides reported nice catches of Spanish Mackerel and speckled trout around Hatteras Inlet and back in the sound.

    There was one Charter that went out of Hatteras Harbor Marina today. They brought back a good catch of bailer and gaffer Dolphin.

    The weather is still preventing the spectacular fishing we had about a week ago. With this slight wind change tomorrow sounds like a day to give it a real good shot. A North wind always clears up the water on the south side and even with rough seas we seen quite a few big pompano and sea mullet before. Tomorrow looks like possibly the best day until Wednesday of next week when the wind is supposed to shift NE.

    Here is your Outer Banks fishing report for Hatteras Island: 

    The weather was quite windy today. Winds blowing 15-25 mph out of the SW and highs in the upper 80’s.  This made the southern beaches in Frisco and Hatteras dirty and chopped up.Beach Fishing was about as slow as it could be. This SW wind has really taken its toll on the beach fishing. We did not hear of anything from the beach today.

    Inshore charters did however have a nice report today. There were good speckled trout and bluefish bites.  There were some Spanish Mackerel and Flounder around as well.

    No Offshore Charters went out of Hatteras Harbor today due to weather conditions.

    The weather is supposed to stay relatively the same tomorrow as it was today. Still calling for Thunderstorms and SW winds. The wind however is going to drop to 10-20 mph.

    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.
