Hatteras Fishing Reports     2009

• Dec. 8th Caught plenty of blackfins, The largest was 33 pounds with 9 other citations. 400 plus pounds in all. We were mostly Jigging with our Daiwa and Okuma tackle with colored 80 pound braid. If you have not done this you have to try it. The customers on board have been chartering The Big Tahuna for 6 years and said this was by far there best time.

• Dec. 27th / 28th / 29th  We have been running 25miles 120 degrees out of Hatteras Inlet. We try to find a Mark and then Just drop to depth of Mark basically if fish are marking in 30 Fathoms then we drop 6 colors, and start jigging.

• Jan. 09  Check out this description of one of our recent blackfin tuna jigging days in January. 

• 1/23/2009 This article appearing in Saltwater Sportsman was from a trip on the Big Tahuna.

• 3-19-09 Hatteras Fishing we had an awesome day. Jigged up some nice size Bluefin Tuna, Trolled and caught a handfull also. The rest of the day we bounced the bottom and caught some Tiles and a 28 pound grouper.  A 100+ Mako bit a bait while bottom fishing and was landed in minutes. All the action was in 68.3 degree water from the 270 line to the 330. Lets Go fishing!!

• 3-22-09 Found the bluefin tuna that were hungry!    Check out the Saltwater Sportsman report  

• 3-27-09  Another great day on the water. Bluefin tuna were from the 240 line up to the 400 line. We were fishing 80-100 fathoms. Trolling was very productive but we just could not help and put a jig down. If you were set up to chunk this would have been a good day for it. We released one per person and keep one nice fish to bring back to the dock. My crew did not want to catch them all day and wanted a little variety. The current was rolling close to 3.5 knots so it made bottom bouncing very difficult. We did jig up their limit of Jacks and caught two citation Blackfin(20-25pounds)
