Cape Hatteras Fishing Charters

Predator pelagic species of fish like mahi, tunas, wahoo, sailfish, blue and white marlin follow the smaller fish along this highway feeding on them as they are seeking their best tolerated water temperatures. Since the surrounding ocean water is often outside the tolerant range both predator and their prey are almost trapped by their environments. Fishermen that learn to read the Gulf Stream and then apply it to the habits of the species they want to catch are always going to be the most successful.

Cape Hatteras offshore charters have been studying and applying their tactics for years and they have gotten exceptionally good at it. Many of the USCG licensed local charter boat captains have been chartering for 30 years or more. They have mastered the art and glamour of offshore sportfishing and so have captains all up and down the East Coast so what makes Cape Hatteras so different?

The secret is that the Gulf Stream flows close to Hatteras before it starts to swing away after it passes the Point at Cape Shoals. Fishing out of Oregon Inlet located only 20 miles north of Hatteras entails a 30 mile boat ride to even get close to the Gulf Stream waters. So potential anglers can ride 20 miles further in their car, charter out of Hatteras and be fishing with 1/3 less boat ride time. That equals less boat ride time, less fuel use, more fishing time and even a less expensive charter price for an opportunity to catch a higher concentration of fish!

If you are considering an offshore charter fishing trip as a part of your "bucket list" think about all the advantages Cape Hatteras offers before you make a final decision! The Cape offers many highly experienced awesome charter boats both large and small. Most charter boats are licensed to take out no more than a maximum of six anglers. On Hatteras boat that specializes in private Hatteras charters for large groups is Stormy Petrel II with a capacity up to 20 anglers.

One long established Cape Hatteras Charter boat is Sea Angel II with local legend Capt. Bruce Armstrong and his son Bruce Jr. The pair seem to always be on the fish and have developed a sixth sense when it comes to traversing the ever shifting Hatteras Inlet.
