Sand Tiger Shark

Hatteras, North Carolina, offers some of the best Sand Tiger Shark fishing on the East Coast. These impressive predators patrol the waters of Pamlico Sound and the nearshore Atlantic, particularly during the warmer months from late spring through early fall. Focus your efforts around inlets, shoals, and areas with strong currents, as these are prime hunting grounds. Diamond Shoals, just offshore of Hatteras Island, is a renowned spot. A key local tip: When targeting Sand Tiger Sharks, use heavy tackle and circle hooks to ensure a safe catch and release, as they are a protected species. Access to the fishing grounds is readily available via charter boats operating out of Hatteras and Ocracoke. Respect these magnificent creatures and adhere to all regulations regarding their conservation.
