Almaco Jack
Offshore Hatteras, North Carolina, offers a unique opportunity to tangle with Almaco Jack, though they're not as common as some other species. The Gulf Stream's influence brings warmer waters closer to shore, creating conditions where these jacks can thrive around deepwater wrecks and artificial reefs. Summer and early fall are generally the best times to target them. Unlike southern fisheries, the jacks here might be mixed in with other pelagic species like amberjack and tuna, so be prepared for a variety of bites. Local captains are essential for pinpointing productive wrecks, as many are in deep water and require specialized electronics. One crucial tip is to bring heavy tackle; Almaco Jacks are powerful fighters, and the strong currents around Hatteras demand gear capable of handling both the fish and the conditions. Check local regulations regarding seasonal closures and size limits before heading out.
