Duck pier posted their water temp at 41 degrees this morning.  Sat/imagery of the waters around Cape Hatteras early today show surface water temps in the high 40s.
Unfortunately yesterdays Bluefin search was unproductive – they weren’t skunked, but no Bluefin were located.  Was chatting with a marine fisheries agent yesterday and he confirmed there was good fishing for puppy drum on the south side of Oregon Inlet the last several days.  The fishing reports on Red Drum Tackle’s website indicate although there aren’t always a lot of folks fishing, the slot-sized red drum catching is still very good.
