Porbeagle
Hatteras, North Carolina, might be better known for its billfish, but it's also a viable location for targeting porbeagle sharks. The Gulf Stream's proximity to Hatteras brings these sharks within reach, making it a unique destination for shark fishing. Porbeagles are most abundant during the cooler months, typically from late fall to early spring, when water temperatures drop. This is a bluewater fishery, so a seaworthy boat and proper safety equipment are essential. Access to the Gulf Stream is relatively easy from Hatteras Inlet, but be mindful of the often-challenging bar conditions. A local tip: chumming is key to attracting porbeagles. Use a mix of oily fish like menhaden to create a scent trail. The porbeagles found off Hatteras are generally robust and powerful, offering a thrilling angling experience for those willing to venture offshore.
