Below is an explanation of what to expect of fishing throughout the year off of Hatteras.
January - March

With the temperatures ranging between 35 - 75 degrees, we catch fish that stay in cooler temperature waters. These include (but are not limited to) Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Wahoo, King Mackerel and Dolphin. Top Hook's spacious cabin is heated.
March - May

Temperatures start to warm up mid March and we begin to see more Dolphin, Wahoo and Blue Marlin in addition to the Tunas.
May - June

When the warm waters arrive, so do the warm water fish. Mid May is an extraordinary month because transient fish are everywhere! Expect to see excellent catches of Dolphin, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish and Wahoo along with the occasional Yellowfin Tuna.
July - August

With the warm water now a constant in the area most of the catches consist of Dolphin and Wahoo but the occasional Sailfish and White Marlin bite a hook from time to time as well.
September - December

With the cool waters moving back into the area late September we begin to see King Mackerel in addition to Dolphin and Billfish. By mid October we're busy with Yellowfin Tuna and live baiting Kings. This continues through November and mid December the Bluefin Tuna shows back up.
