Cape Hatteras is situated perfectly for offshore sportfishing, being the closest point to the Gulf Stream North of the Florida Coast. In a short boat ride, you can be among schools of tuna, blue and white marlin, wahoo, sailfish and more! The coastlines and inlets of Hatteras Island are also perfect for surf fishing and inshore sound fishing where flounder, trout, bluefish, and mackeral abound. Remember that a NC Saltwater Fishing License is required.
Pier fishing is also a popular sport for those wanting to stay on land and enjoy the pristine beaches at the same time. Piers often offer a one-stop shop for bait and tackle, food and beverage, or equipment for rent. Helpful employees offer great advice on the kinds of fish biting and the type of tackle that is best. Night fishing on lighted piers is also a unique family activity that Cape Hatteras offers.
Vacationers and homeowners enjoy these traditional outdoor activities year after year. From Avon to Hatteras Village, the island features numerous operations equipped with professional, experienced fisherman using top of the line tackle and rods on impressive charter boats. When you get back to the dock, enjoy watching the charters unload their catch and take some home for the whole family!
In addition to private Charter expeditions, Cape Hatteras hosts off shore and surf fishing tournaments throughout the year that offer an exciting atmosphere to share with visitors and residents. During these events, the town comes alive in competition and community as visitors mill around the villages and beaches, explore the shops and restaurants, and watch anglers bring in the catch of the day!
