Hatteras Island Fishing Reports

Cap. Rick says he hopes to be back in the water and running charters at the beginning of April. Early speculation taking into consideration of past season he expects to see sheepshead, red drum and a big group of bluefish in April and then once May rolls around they will be targeting those awesome cobia. For best dates give Capt. Rick call now and get scheduled Speck-Tackler Light Tackle Charters. said they still have open days for anyone that wants to get in on this amazing fishing.

For those that haven't heard yet, because of a cold water fish stun this winter the NC speckled trout season is currently closed and won't be opening until July 1.

Changing weather for the better and the bluefins are still active off Hatteras. Check out our new scheduling calendar. It makes it easy to reserve your trip. If you can't find six anglers for a private charter then consider adding your name for a makeup charter to our makeup request calendar.

Only 2 spots left open for a make-up trip on Sunday, March 22nd. In previous years the Bluefin have stayed around through the end of March and it is also prime season for Blackfin and possibly Yellowfin Tuna. We make the reservation solid and sail if we can get a couple more signed up $325 each. (Sign up here)

Our group had gorgeous weather today for our walk on trip. 5 for 7 on bluefin tuna, releasing several over 73 inches. We kept a 72 inch fish that put up a great fight and also kept a few king mackerels. If you want to get a shot at a giant bluefin now's the time and Cape Hatteras is the place. Sea Dream Sportfishing
