“We had a blast and I am so happy that Nick not only caught a trout on his fly rod but that he caught the biggest trout.  He said he learned so much from you yesterday as I also did.  A great experience. Thanks again and we will be repeat customers, maybe even a float…

If you're looking for exciting offshore action, targeting Blue Sharks out of Hatteras, North Carolina is a great option. Hatteras is renowned for its proximity to the Gulf Stream, bringing warm, nutrient-rich waters close to shore, attracting a variety of pelagic species, including blues. The best time to target Blue Sharks here is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall (May-October). They are often found in deeper waters, typically 50-100 miles offshore, so a sturdy boat and appropriate safety gear are essential. Chumming is a common and effective technique to draw sharks to the boat. Be prepared for a long day on the water, but the reward can be a thrilling battle with these powerful predators. A practical tip: consult with local charter captains for up-to-date information on shark locations and effective techniques. Remember to practice responsible shark fishing, using circle hooks and minimizing fight times to ensure the health of the sharks.
