Hatteras Island

[Foul Hook]

We're down in Hatteras island for our annual fish and fun trip. Looks like it's gonna be more fun than fish as the wind will hard out of the south for the next 5 days. No boats running off for the entire week. It sucks bc leading up to this week fishing down here has been red hot with most boats getting loads of black fin and some yellows. Wahoo has been good along with a robust bill fishery. One boat had 6 sails on a trip. Any way I did hit the local party boat for a 25 mile trip to the gulf stream. The boat drifts for fish as the current is to strong to anchor effectively. Most of the fish caught were 3 to 5 lb triggers and some nice 3 to 5 lb seabass, some vermillion snapper and sand grouper. Red snapper were caught to 10 lbs but the season was only 2 days so they went back. Highlight at the whistle was a nice about 8lb red snapper get chomped in half by a 5ft barracuda. Looks like a bunch or beer drinking the rest of the week. All the Best FH
