Hello Folks! I've been running a Center Console Charter Fishing Service from Hatteras Harbor Marina at Cape Hatteras for 18 years now, and just wanted to let folks on the Forum know that we have great opportunity here to catch very Large Cobia and Large Red Drum on fly tackle. Our Cobia run is most of June, and lately it has continued into the first half of July with the majority of fish in the 40lb-80lb range. One day during the first week of June last year, I sightcasted 18 Large Cobia up to 75 lbs on Bucktails casted from spinning tackle. I know for a fact that several of them could have been caught on a fly rod that day. Recently, new NC state records have occured here with cobia over 100lbs.
As for the Red Drum, we have them now, and should have them through the first part of the Summer along with the Cobias. Most the these fish are in the 30lb - 50lb range with the World Record caught here several years ago which was over 100lbs. I do mostly spin fishing, but hope to get more serious customers who want to target these fish on a fly rod. I only take about a dozen fly fishing charters per year, but hope this will increase in the near future. Please feel free to contact me at hangon@beachlink.com or find out more information from my site at:
