Charter Boat & Surf Fishing

A Wealth Of Fishing Opportunities on Hatteras Island

In the waters that surround North Carolina's barrier islands, a wealth of sea life as diverse as anywhere else in the world awaits your discovery. Trout flourish in Pamlico Sound, red drum feed in the Atlantic surf and the greatest sport fishes - marlin, tuna, dolphin, and sailfish teem in our off shore waters. To experience this pleasure of fishing and viewing, you need only to chart a course for our shores. Check out the Concierge page for a list of Hatteras Island marinas.

Hatteras Island charter boat fleets provide easy access to deep-sea game fish and by simply walking out your door to the beach, you can cast a line into the sea to master its bounty.

When the waters cool in the fall of the year, fish from the inter-waters and southern coast migrate in great schools within casting distance of Hatteras Island shores. Frequently, you will see huge schools of predatory game fish swirl in the surf and feed upon smaller fish.

Large head boats run daily during warm seasons out of both ocean inlets and in Pamlico Sound, too. Hatteras Island surf fishing, whether for trophy drum in the spring, sleek Spanish mackerel in summer, big bluefish in the fall, or schooling striped bass in winter, will excite anyone, expert or novice. Be sure and visit the marinas, where dockmasters will gladly explain how to get off the dock and onto the water and educate you how easy it really is. Don't miss the day's catches being unloaded every day between 3 and 5 p.m. right to your feet at the marinas in Hatteras Village.

Hatteras Island offers three fishing piers that stretch into the Atlantic where one can enjoy peaceful live-bait fishing for larger game fish or bottom fishing for such great tasting fare as sea mullet, spot and croaker. The pier manager and the crew will be happy to answer your questions.

Behind the beaches, a wealth of unexplored areas in shallow Pamlico Sound await anyone who enjoys wading or fishing from a small boat. A comprehensive list of the possibilities that await anglers along the Outer Banks is endless. Regardless of where anglers prefer to fish and which species they prefer to catch, there's an angling adventure in your reach anytime of the year.

Life is abundant in the waters offshore. Life can be abundant for you also.
