Fishing
Hatteras
Village has a year round fishing season. In short, it is a
fisherman's paradise whether you choose to fish offshore in the Gulf
Stream or inshore along the beaches and sounds.
Charter Fishing
Call it what you will, charter
fishing, deep sea fishing, big game
fishing or sport fishing, but some of the best fishing on the east
coast is found in the Gulf Stream waters just 20 miles off the coast of
Hatteras Village. Here one can expect to land tuna, sailfish,
blue marlin, white marlin, dolphin, and the list goes on.
Charter
boats can be found in all the marinas in the Village. The
Hatteras Village fleet also caters to fishing in Pamlico Sound one of
the largest bodies of inland water in the world.

Surf Fishing
The sport of catching fish while standing or wading on the beach is a
long standing past time at Hatteras. There is no easier way to get next
to nature. With a rod, bait, and a fishing license that is locally
available, one has all that is needed to spend an enjoyable day at the
beach. With a little skill and luck, it is not uncommon to
catch
enough fish to take home for a wonderful seafood dinner.

Pier Fishing
Although there are no ocean piers in the Village, there are several a
few miles north. At some you can rent all the equipment you
need for a
leisurely day or night of fishing. On several of the docks in
the Village
and on a couple of the bridges one can bait a hook and try one's luck. |

Spear Fishing
The Gulf Stream and the Labrador currents off Hatteras contribute to
the diversity and abundance of marine life and many marine species have
either their most southern or northern terminus here at the Diamond
Shoals. This provides for a variety of resident and pelagic
species to hunt. Our numerous shipwreck sites provide the
necessary structure for the fish to congregate and the Gulf Stream
brings in the big pelagic species. The Gulf Stream edge and
associated currents will also create large mats of Sargasso grass and
these make an ideal location for drift hunting the deep blue
water.
