Jolthead Porgy
Hatteras, North Carolina, provides access to the Gulf Stream and its associated offshore fisheries, which includes Jolthead Porgy, although they are not the primary target for most anglers. The warmer months, from late spring to early fall, offer the best opportunities to target them while fishing for other bottom-dwelling species. Look for them in depths of 100 to 200 feet around wrecks and hard bottom structures. A key tip when fishing out of Hatteras is to monitor the Gulf Stream's position, as its proximity can significantly impact the fishing. The Jolthead Porgy in this region are typically caught as bycatch while targeting grouper or snapper, but they are a welcome addition to the cooler. Use standard bottom fishing rigs with cut bait, squid, or live bait. Be prepared for potentially rough seas and long boat rides when venturing offshore from Hatteras. Always check the weather conditions and ensure your vessel is properly equipped for offshore fishing.
