Fishing Reports

We hope everyone is having a prosperous and healthy new year. Just jumping on to let you know that the Bluefin Tuna bite is off the hook right now. The boats are seeing 73" Bluefins that are right for charters. Release had a few King Mackerel and Bluefin Tuna today.

If you want to book a trip for Bluefins, give the captains of Hatteras Blue, Predator, Release or Tuna Duck a call while the fish are still here. If you'd like to book for Bluefins or anything else, we will reopen on January 22nd and you can give us a call then.

A pretty spectacular sunset yesterday evening.

It was a pretty day on the blue water today and Release made the trek to land some meat. They came back with good catches of King Mackerel and Blackfin Tuna. Willpower landed some big Wahoo. They had a 77lb. and a 73lb. fish. See what you're missing when you're not out here fishing.
