“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…

Giant Sea Bass

Giant Sea Bass

Various

Hatteras, North Carolina, offers a unique opportunity to target Giant Sea Bass in the deep offshore waters of the Gulf Stream. While not as commonly targeted as other species, these giants lurk around deepwater wrecks and bottom structure. The cooler months, particularly late fall and winter, can be surprisingly productive, though the weather can be unpredictable. When fishing for Giant Sea Bass out of Hatteras, be prepared for long runs offshore and potentially rough seas. A sturdy boat and reliable electronics are essential. Deep dropping with heavy jigs or baited rigs is the most common technique. A local tip: target wrecks in the 150-300 foot range. Due to the depth and distance offshore, hiring a reputable charter captain with experience in deep-sea fishing is highly recommended. Always check weather conditions before heading out, as Hatteras is known for its challenging conditions.
