Cape Hatteras Fishing Reports

Plan for any kind of weather! We had beautiful sun and 65* but were prepared for cold weather too.

I'd recommend booking with an experienced captain as the conditions are constantly changing in the area. Getting some first hand knowledge will help us greatly on future outings.

Pay attention to the weather and dress accordingly! Relax, have a good attitude, and enjoy.

Come earlier in the year to have better chance of catching targeted fish. Ours was Tuna

Ask around for the best spots and bait. Most people are more than happy to help out and wish you the best of luck.

Take a boat like to see drain for the meet and captain and teach you how to fish be very patient with you

Plan your trip accordingly. Hatteras seems like it is a long way from Nags Head. There are plenty of good restaurants once you arrive. Tight lines.

Allow yourself a couple of possible days to go fishing. Wind and weather can be unpredictable year-round and it's nice to have another day to go if you get blown out.

Limit your expectation to the time of year and what fish are biting. Do a little research and as long as you know what to expect and you get a good crew (check out the reviews) you should have a great experience.

Go with someone like ethan who can build your cofidence and meet you where you are not where someone wants you to be. This ain't wicked Tuna it's hatteras hookup.

I would recommend you book a charter with an experienced captain and just go try it.

Take a deep sea charter, fish the sound from the end of Hatteras island (get an ORV Permit at the lighthouse), try squid bait.
