The white marlin fishing off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina can be fast, furious, and unpredictable. It would be accurate to say that white marlin are the most abundant billfish caught by charter boats off North Carolina.
WHEN: These highly migratory billfish provide ample and spectacular action throughout the summer months. Over the years, May, June, July, August, and September have all proven to be an excellent time for white marlin fishing. Stragglers will be caught on either side of these months. Absolute best fishing times are July and August.
HOW: We troll small dead baits on light tackle and often in the course of a day have multiple shots and hook-ups.
SIZE: White marlins range in size from 25 to 100 lbs.
LIMIT: White marlins are catch and release.
