Hatteras, NC |

Gulf stream water is pushing across the continental shelf south of
Hatteras. Bait gathered up in 90 feet of water is holding a large body
of school dolphin.
Billfish action has been scattered, with an occasional blue, white
marlin and sailfish.
Wahoos are starting to show, a few were caught this past week |

The Cape Offshore... |
|

If it is tuna you are targeting, I am sure the "fleet" will give away
where the fish are at. One proven method for success is to fish the
fringe. By that I mean get 1/4 mile or so away from the fleet and fish
the edge. Blue marlin or tuna, yellowfin or bluefin, a concentration of
boats will put them down and or out. Many a Captain has pulled good fish
from the edges of a concentrated fleet. Ask the highliners...they will
tell you.
For school, medium and giant bluefin tuna pay attention to the sea
surface temperature chart available on the home page of Offshore
Pursuits. The temperature break east of Chatham from 49/50 degrees up to
58/59 degrees is holding large schools of bluefin. The break is in
around 95/100 feet of water and runs the length of the Great South
Channel from P-Town down to the BB Buoy. This break changes every day
based on the tide. Some days the fish are on the warm side and biting.
Other days they are on the cold side and difficult to get a look from.
If I had a choice, I would be east of Chatham fishing the break with a
spread of squid rigs behind me and a pair of
Hatteras Creatures fished out of the long riggers way back. At squid
rig speed the
Hatteras Creature swims sub surface, which is good. That puts the
bait slightly below the squid rigs. What do you think is gong to get hit
first? If you are trolling
tuna trains and skirted or naked ballyhoo, the
Creature swims on the surface. You control the action by your boat
control.
I will tell you a proven trick concerning the
Hatteras Creature...come out of gear and let all your rigs come to a
stop. The Creature will be nose up and tentacles straight down. Put the
boat in gear and start to troll...as soon as the
Creature arches forward and begins to swim, watch out. A nice blue
marlin was fooled that way. That is a fact... |
