Palometa
While Palometa aren't the most common target off Hatteras, North Carolina, dedicated anglers can find them, especially during the warmer months. These fish are typically found in shallower waters, often near structure like wrecks and reefs just offshore. The late summer and early fall months, when the water is warmest and most stable, are your best bet. Focus your efforts around inlets and shoals where currents are strong and baitfish congregate. A key tip for Hatteras is to pay close attention to water clarity; Palometa are sight feeders and prefer clear, clean water. Also, be mindful of the strong currents that Hatteras is known for, and plan your drifts accordingly. Consider launching from Oregon Inlet Fishing Center for quick access to productive areas. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for Palometa before heading out.
