Charter a Boat Out of Hatteras
Hatteras is often referred to as "The Billfish Capital of the World," and for good reason. Hundreds of blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish are caught and released in our waters every year. Anglers flock to our Island each year to catch that prize fish and since we are so close to the Gulfstream this makes for an exciting trip. Hatteras Island charter boat fleets provide easy access to deep-sea game fish. Large head boats run daily during warm seasons out of both ocean inlets
and in Pamlico Sound, too. For a complete list of charter boats click here. |

Grab a Rod and Fish Off the Beach
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. 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. Stop by one of the local tackle shops along the Island and let the locals hook you up with the best rigs to catch your citation fish. Don't forget to know the regulations on what fish sizes and species you can keep. Visit ncfisheries.net for regulation information. |

Fish Off of the Pier
Hatteras Island offers two 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. The Piers in Rodanthe and Avon offer spectacular views and a great experience. They don't rent fishing gear so bring your own or purchase it on site. You also do not need a fishing license while on the pier. Check with the individual piers for cost of passes. |

Visit the Marinas
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. For a list of Marinas visit our concierge page. This is a treat for kids to see a fish taller than they are! If you are interested in booking a charter you can talk directly to the captains and mates as they scrub their boats for the next day of fishing. |

Visit a Local Market
If you aren't able to do any fishing while you are on the Island don't worry! We have several seafood markets along the island that carry fresh fish, clams, crab and shrimp.
Treat yourself to a delicious meal! They can even steam your choice of shellfish on the spot. Ask what is the fresh catch and pick something that is in season for the best flavor.

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. Hatteras Realty provides the space and comfort that fishermen and
women require after long days of dragging in fish after fish. If you love
fishing and you love the ocean, we are simply the place for you. Those
who have already sampled the area's waters will testify to the truth -
it is easy to get hooked on Hatteras fishing.
