A front came through yesterday with some much-needed rain and cooler temps in the low 80’s.  The wind blew from the northeast at 10-15 mph, which cleaned the water up an improved the fishing. The south beach had nice pompano, bluefish, and small flounder. There were some reports of nice sea mullet on the north beach and in Avon.
The inshore boats had gray trout, specks, and spanish.
Offshore dolphin fishing was good, king mackerel were scattered along with scattered blackfin. Two whites and two sails were released out of Hatteras Harbor Marina.

Thunderstorms finally hit this morning. Temperatures were in the low 80’s and the wind was blowing out of the SW 10-15 mph. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to clear up with the wind blowing NE 10-15 mph.

Beach fishing was extremely slow today due to bad weather. No fish were reported. Current was too rough for 6 oz to hold bottom according to one fisherman.

Inshore Charter guides also had a slow day. A total of 7 speckled trout were caught and only 1 keeper in the mix.

Offshore Charters had a scrappy day as the ocean was chopped up today. 1 Sailfish was released by the Sea Creature. Also reports of good gaffer and bailer dolphin were spoken of out of Hatteras Harbor Marina.

With the wind switching to the north tomorrow expectations are higher than that of today. Hopefully the water will clear up as it had the other day and big pompano and Sea Mullet will show right back up.

The weather today was sunny and breezy.  The winds were from the southwest  at 15 mph.  The temperatures were in the mid 80’s.  We had some mixed reports from Hatteras to Avon. Pompano and sea mullet were the most likely catch from the surf today. A few spanish mackerel, blues and flounder were also reported.
The Inshore fishing fleet reported good catches of spanish mackerel and speckled trout.
The offshore boats had some good dolphin and blackfin tuna fishing. 

The weather took a small turn for the better today. The wind went to the S at 5-10 mph and died down and fishing has picked up.

Beach Fishing was a great improvement today as we weighed in a few citation pompano and some  good catches of Sea Mullet, Pompano, and Spot were reported. If the wind continues to blow like it is now, tomorrow should be another good day.

Inshore Charter guides reported good catches of speckled Trout and Spanish Mackerel today.

Offshore Charter guides had a great day today to snap the streak of bad fishing. 3 billfish were released. One Blue Marlin was caught by Bite Me, one Sailfish by Good Times, and one Sailfish from the Release. Dolphin fishing was good along with scattered wahoo, good blackfin tuna, and a few amberjacks.

The forecast for tomorrow is similar to that of today. Calling for scattered thunderstorms, cloudy skies, and temperatures in the high 70’s mid 80’s. Tomorrow’s fishing looks as promising as todays report turned out.

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.
