Fishing Report 10-9

Hatteras Fleet off yesterday.

Not off, off shore yesterday.

And they had good mahi fishing.

I saw my friend Steve Culture, his boat is called the Sea Creature, and, uh, they had, they had some people that came all the way from Iowa, and they came wanting to catch some mahi, and they wanted to catch wahoo.

And lo and behold, they had a nice catch mahi and a wahoo.

A nice wahoo, looked like about a 40-pounder.

And, uh, they're averaging down there one or two wahoos per boat per day.

They're still catching good, good catches of, of mahi or dolphin, which is what they call them.

It is the dolphin fish.

And that is hanging in there.

It's a little late for, for those big schools, but they're still doing it.

You know, so they had good fishing.

They've been catching drum and blue fish around the inlet.

All in all, they've been doing pretty well, but that's probably getting ready to come to a halt today.

Um, we'll see, but it ain't looking too good.

We'll talk more about the weather at the end of the, of today's report.

Oregon Inlet Fleet had very good tuna fishing yesterday.

Mostly blackfin tuna, and they were a good class of blackfin tuna, 20 to 25 pounds a piece.

Uh, a few yellowfin tuna.

They were 50 to 60 pounds a piece.

So all in all, it was a tuna day.

I did not see many catches.

I saw a few mahi in the catches.

But just like I was talking about for the Hatteras folks, these things are all gonna start moving south.

Uh, so the, I don't know if the dolphin bite is over in, uh, north of Cape Hatteras, and they're just getting the last of it in the Hatteras charter fleet.
