Fishing Report 10-16

All right, we always start out with the folks down in Hatteras, the offshore and inshore fleet down there.

And remember how I've been telling you over the last few days it's time for the wahoo bite to improve, and they've been averaging one or two per day per boat.

Keep in mind, a wahoo is a highly sought-after game fish.

Supposedly the fastest fish in the ocean.

I still don't understand how they clocked that fish to determine that, but I do know [laughs] I've never caught anything any faster.

A beautiful fish, great eating, and, you know, a lot of people will fish their whole life and never catch a wahoo.

Well, in Hatteras yesterday, there were boats that had double figures in wahoos, as predicted, and mentioned first here on the Captain Marty's Fishing Report.

Uh, beautiful catches.

Dock fulls of wahoo.

I don't know where they found them or what they got onto, but they also had some blackfin tuna and, uh, a couple other bonuses.

They had some limits of dolphin or mahi.

Uh, r- really I think I said yesterday that we were getting near the end of that, and Hatteras would be probably the last fleet to do that as the fish move south.

And several boats had sailfish yesterday.

One or two sailfish to the boat.

So tip of the hat to the guys in Hatteras on that great wahoo fishing and a good all-around day.

And then their inshore and nearshore fle- uh, fleet had bluefish and red drum.

There was a 50-inch big red drum caught on the Black Pearl.

That's a great catch.

So that was pretty neat.
