Hatteras is a barrier island. It is, in-and-of-itself, a 60-mile long sandbar stretching along North Carolina's coast. It's where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream from the south collide with the cooler waters of the Labrador Current coming down from the north. The result can often be visually quite spectacular at the spot known as Cape Point. The inshore waters to the north of Cape Point can often run as much as five - to ten degrees cooler than the waters to the south of the point. For fishermen, this means that often you get both northern and southern saltwater species of fish congregating at the same location. With the changing seasons come changes in the fish populations, and also changes in successful techniques to catch them. On these pages, you will find TRUE fishing stories from Hatteras, with some pictures to support them, and techniques for catching and cooking them. I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I had in experiencing them and putting these stories together.
