We did not have any boats go out today due to the weather. 
Check back tomorrow to see what's going on.

Northeast winds produced big seas and brought Coastal Flood Advisories for our area today. Needless to say, no boats fished out of our marina. This front is supposed to bring lots of rain along with windy conditions through tomorrow. We cannot complain however for the weather previous to this was absolutely gorgeous.  

People who are not in Hatteras today are missing out! Weather was gorgeous with blue skies for most of the day a mirror calm sound and temps in the 70's. Offshore boats were fishing for King Mackerel and caught a few. Inshore boats were catching Red Drum and Speckled Trout in good numbers.

Only a couple of boats out today Offshore and only one was chartered. Slow fishing today with some assorted bottom fish of Snapper, Triggerfish, Porgies and a Lion Fish. Weather was foggy off and on with light winds and temps in the 70's.

Release: Tiffany Taylor of Plymouth, NC caught a 5lb Triggerfish.

A few boats fished with charters today and a few were commercial King Mackerel fishing. King Mackerel fishing was good with citation weights. Wahoo was fair, Dolphin fishing was scattered and bottom fishing was fair with boats catching Triggerfish and Amberjack. Blackfin Tuna were coming in with citation weights in good numbers. Release released a Sailfish. Inshore boats were catching lots of Speckled Trout and some Red Drum. Weather was perfect fall with a light breeze and blue skies.

Sometimes a full moon can make all the difference when it comes to a good fish bite. Fishing picked up today both inshore and offshore. Limits of Speckled Trout were brought in all day from the Pamlico sound. Some Drum were caught this afternoon before the wind started blowing. Offshore, two Sailfish were released. Anglers caught limits of King Mackerel while live baiting. Limits of Dolphin were also brought in. The Blackfin Tuna bite was good with "big" fish being the exception. A few Wahoo made it into the fish box. A front is supposed to move in tonight. We'll see about tomorrow.

Summer time in November on Hatteras! Drum fishing was good this morning in the Pamlico Sound. This afternoon brought limits of Speckled Trout. A handful of boats live baited for King Mackerel and had a good day. Fishing was  a little better offshore with fair Wahoo catches. A few Blackfin Tuna were caught with one shout out for a Yellowfin Tuna. Bottom fishing was good with Triggerfish brought up from the wrecks. It appears to be a great weekend to get out on the water before the time changes and the days get shorter. Call us at 800-676-4939 and we'll hook you up!

Fishing was scrappy all around today. The King Mackerel bite was fair to good. A few Wahoo and some Triggerfish were caught by the few boats that fished offshore. The weather is going to hold out through the first of next week. Let's hope the fishing picks up.

Temperatures in the 70's and slick calm water made for a beautiful day! Inshore anglers lucked out and returned with limits of Speckled Trout. They experienced good Drum fishing this afternoon. After getting their limits, they also went clamming and enjoyed a wonderful time playing in the Sound on the first of November. The ghosts and goblins must have headed offshore to scare away the fish after their Halloween frolics. It was an extremely slow day of fishing. As one Captain put it - "there's not enough sugar on the island " for the fish to bite today. Perhaps it will pick up tomorrow. We are looking for several people to fill a Makeup Charter this Friday.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! A few boats were finally able to get out to the deep blue today. Fishing wasn't red hot but there were some Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi on the docks.
