Barracuda
Barracuda fishing in Hatteras, North Carolina, provides a unique Outer Banks experience. While not as prolific as in more tropical waters, 'cuda can be found patrolling the nearshore waters, inlets, and even venturing into the Pamlico Sound. Look for them around wrecks and artificial reefs, especially during the warmer months of summer and early fall when the water temperature is highest. These fish are opportunistic feeders and readily strike fast-moving lures or live bait. A great tactic is to troll silver spoons or tube lures just below the surface, or cast poppers around structure to entice a strike. The Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is a popular departure point for offshore trips. Keep in mind that the barracuda here might be slightly smaller than those found further south, but they still offer a good fight. Always use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs and exercise caution when handling these fish due to their sharp teeth.
