“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…

Knobbed Porgy

Knobbed Porgy

Various

Hatteras presents an interesting opportunity to encounter knobbed porgy while targeting other bottom-dwelling species. These fish can be found around offshore wrecks and reefs, often mixed in with sea bass and other reef fish. While not the primary target for most Outer Banks anglers, they can provide a welcome surprise and a tasty meal. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are generally the best time to target knobbed porgy off Hatteras. A local tip is to use a fish finder to locate promising structure and drop your bait directly on top of it. Cut squid or shrimp are effective baits. The Oregon Inlet Fishing Center is a popular departure point for offshore charters targeting these areas. Be sure to check the latest regulations from the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries before your trip.
