Lane Snapper
Hatteras might be better known for its offshore pelagic fishing, but Lane Snapper can also be found closer to shore around structure and reefs. They're often a welcome addition to the cooler when targeting other reef species. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the peak season. While not as abundant as in more southern locations, they're a fun and tasty catch nonetheless. Focus your attention on artificial reefs and wrecks within a few miles of shore. A standard bottom fishing rig with squid or cut bait is effective. A local tip: be aware that the waters off Hatteras can be unpredictable. Check the marine forecast before heading out and be prepared for changing conditions. Also, many of the nearshore reefs are popular spots, so be prepared to share the water with other anglers.
