What a day on Hatteras island, the fishing has been spectacular. To lead off the report, a Striper, again a Striper was caught in the surf. A 40 inch, 24 lbs, striper. On a size 4, 2 drop rig, using fishbites for bait! Pictures will follow this report. The Drum have been biting all day. Last I heard about 30 fish were beached mostly being citation fish. Slot and yearling drum were also running around from 43 to ramp 55. I weighed 3 lbs flounder today as well. Flounder were caught in decent numbers on Ramp 55. Bluefish have been running up and down the beaches still. Sea mullet were in good number off Ramp 43, 48, and at the point. Blowtoads were caught in good numbers as well, mostly on the northern beaches. Sharks are still everywhere. Rays and skate are being caught.
