Dusky Shark
Hatteras, North Carolina, provides access to the Gulf Stream, making it a premier destination for targeting Dusky Sharks. These apex predators are frequently found patrolling the offshore waters, especially during their migration periods. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are typically the most productive for shark fishing. Consider using heavier tackle and wire leaders to handle the strength of these powerful fish. A good strategy is to chum the waters to attract sharks to your boat. Hatteras Harbor Marina is a popular departure point, offering charter services and ample boat ramp access. Be aware that Dusky Sharks are a protected species, so strict catch-and-release practices are essential. Consult local regulations to ensure compliance. The Dusky Sharks found off Hatteras are known for their impressive size and fighting ability, promising an exciting angling experience.
