Weekly report – June 4, 2010
On extended SW winds, water temps have fallen to around 60 at Duck but remain in the upper 70s south. Surf and shore fishing over the last week was pretty good. Good numbers of big blues all over the coast – they are a few weeks later than they’ve been the past several years, but the run appears to be picking up. Additionally, some nice pompano are being caught, mostly along the south-facing beaches of Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands. Black drum fishing continues to be pretty good, and scattered reports of big red drum, puppy drum and cobia are coming from the same beaches. Scattered reports of keeper stripers continue to come in from the beach north of Oregon Inlet. Flounder are also being caught with bigger fish reported further south.
