Weather was still cold today but at least the rain cleared off. Hatteras Village had their annual Christmas parade today and a lot of fun was had by all. We hope you made it down and enjoyed it and maybe got a handful of candy! Nothing to report on the fishing front today. The holidays are on us and we have great gifts for everyone on your list!

Boats fished Inshore and Offshore today. Weather was much colder and rain drizzled for most of the day. Offshore boats caught decent King Mackerel and a few Albacore. Inshore boats were finding Puppy Drum in good numbers. Duck season reopens December 16th our guides will get you out and set you up for a day of hunting!

No boats fished today as there were no charters. Rain moved in this afternoon and will continue throughout the rest of the week. Check back to see what's going on.

We had one offshore charter to head out this morning and they returned early with almost 650 lb. of King Mackerel, so the bite is picking up! It looks like tomorrow is going to be another pretty day for fishing before a front moves through bringing rain and possibly some snow as it turns colder towards the end of the week.

Winds turned north today bringing much cooler temperatures. Several charters fished offshore and had a good day catching King Mackerel (live baiting and trolling). One charter departed yesterday and stayed out overnight. They returned ( needless to say a bit tired!) with a limit of King Mackerel, a nice catch of Blackfin Tuna, a Dolphin, a Wahoo, Triggerfish, and Black Sea Bass. Commercial fishing produced a pretty good catch of King Mackerel. We'll have to see what the rest of the week brings (weather wise and fish wise).

World class King Mackerel fishing is what one captain reported to us. Offshore boats enjoyed great weather while both trolling and live bait fishing for King Mackerel. There were also some Albacore caught while Sea Bass and Triggerfish were at limits. Temperatures have been in the 65-70 range just right for a relaxing day.
