Pigfish
Hatteras, North Carolina, offers a unique opportunity to target Pigfish, especially for those looking for a fun and accessible inshore fishing experience. These fish are abundant in the Pamlico Sound and along the grass flats of the Outer Banks. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are prime time as the water temperatures rise and the Pigfish become more active. They're not picky eaters, readily taking small pieces of shrimp, squid, or even artificial lures like small jigs. For bank access, try fishing around the jetties and docks in Hatteras Village. If you're using a boat, explore the shallow waters around Ocracoke Inlet. A local tip: chumming with crushed shells or fish meal can draw them in. Be aware that Pigfish, while fun to catch, are also a popular baitfish, so handle them carefully if you plan to use them for larger species.
