Ladyfish
Hatteras, North Carolina, is a great spot to encounter ladyfish, particularly in the Pamlico Sound and surrounding inlets. While not as abundant as further south, they offer a fun surprise when targeting other inshore species. The warmer months, from late spring to early fall, are the best times to find them. Concentrate your efforts near Oregon Inlet and the surrounding marshes and grass flats. A local angler's tip: try fishing the areas around the Bonner Bridge pilings. Ladyfish are aggressive feeders, so small, flashy lures and live shrimp or mullet work well. Be prepared for a spirited fight, as they are known for their quick runs and jumps. While not typically eaten, they are a valuable part of the ecosystem and a fun catch for light tackle enthusiasts. Respect the resource and practice catch and release to ensure their continued presence in these waters.
