Black Marlin
Hatteras, North Carolina, while more famed for its blue marlin fishery, can surprisingly offer shots at black marlin. The Gulf Stream brushes close to the Outer Banks, creating a productive offshore environment. The prime time to target these magnificent fish is during the warmer months, typically from late spring through summer. Anglers often focus their efforts around the 'Point,' where the Gulf Stream's currents converge. Trolling large lures or natural baits along temperature breaks is a proven tactic. A key tip is to pay attention to water clarity; black marlin prefer clear, blue water. Launching from Hatteras Inlet gives you relatively quick access to the Gulf Stream. Be aware that the waters off Hatteras can be challenging, with strong currents and unpredictable weather, so always prioritize safety and consult local experts.
