Offshore Pursuits Fishing News and Reports

Bluefin Tuna Bite off Hatteras!

This past weekend saw a bunch of bluefin up to 220 lbs. taken from the waters off Hatteras, NC. There were a few yellowfin taken, some nice wahoo, a white marlin, and a couple mako. If you ever get the chance to fish down there, you will have the time of your life. It puts fishing in a whole different perspective.

I have fished bluefin both off Cape Cod, and off Cape Hatteras in the winter. They are definately two different worlds. Don't get me wrong...I love them both. My heart and soul is on cape Cod, but I sure do love the fishing off Cape Hatteras.

A few years back I went down there over Christmas to attempt landing a giant bluefin on a spinning rod. They said I was crazy, but we did it. A documented 350 lb bluefin on a spinning rod. It made all the papers down there anyway...Something about a crazy fool with a spinning rod chasing bluefin! Not really...but it did make all the papers, as well as a mention in Saltwater Sportsman.

You can read the full story here if you wish.

I know what I wish...I wish I was in Hatteras fishing!
