Thank you sir. Tuesday and Wednesday show 17-30 mph, but hopefully that will change.

I will never forget my first fishing experience at Hatteras. 1987, fishing from the Pier, 7ft rod, 250 yards of new 12# test, some old local on the pier gave me a strip of flounder belly ( I know) to use as bait. First cast, within minutes I told my brother-in -law, hey I got a bite. Whatever it was proceeded in taking all 250 yards of my new line without even slowing down while all I can do is hold on. PING, line snaps off where tied to reel. Welcome to Hatteras fishing.

Listen guys. Just saw the weather. Matthew may turn out to sea, but now it looks like our coastline will see some effects, like heavy winds to 50mph or more, depending on its track. Please stay tuned to the local weather and be safe..This will be latter part of the week, like Thursday or Friday.

Nothing going on up here... Tried for crappies mid day just a few white perch. Couldn't get back at sundown.....probably take it slow tomorrow try ancatch something from the surf tomorrow...
Maybe hit the crappie spot at sundown maybe take a lantern an try to draw them in after dark.

Thanks NC. We are all keeping a close eye on things. Looking like wensday ill make my final desicion on when to pack it up an head back. Still hoping for the best but will be ready for the worst.
Other then the Matthew threat the weather has been great.
Fishing not so great in the sound here except white perch. All them you can handle alot of dinky ones with big ones mixed in. Im just targeting them like I would crappie. A small float an ice jig .
Tip with a crawler for faster dinkier action.im just paddling to the ends of long docks an dipping the posts.. But the big ones pull hard on my panfish gear.
No crappies or bass. A few really big gills. They came at nite under lights.
I havnt given the surf a go yet really. Just a few minutes. But if the winds not bad tomorrow I plan on hitting it a few hours. Ill toss a jig around an see what happens.
If its not bad wensday I plan on heading south with the kayak an see if I can't find something....
