Cubera Snapper
Hatteras, North Carolina, offers a unique opportunity to target Cubera Snapper in the offshore waters of the Outer Banks. The Gulf Stream's influence brings warmer waters and pelagic species closer to shore, creating an environment where Cubera can thrive around deepwater wrecks and reefs. Summer and early fall are the peak seasons, when water temperatures are at their warmest. Focus your efforts around structure in 100-200 feet of water, using heavy tackle and large live baits like blue runners or small tunas. These fish are ambush predators, so presenting the bait near the bottom is crucial. A local tip: Hatteras is known for strong currents, so be prepared to use heavier weights to keep your bait in the strike zone. Also, keep an eye on the weather, as conditions can change rapidly offshore.
