Can't Believe What I Saw Fishing The Flats Of Hatteras Island, NC

Here we go with another video from my October trip down in The Outer Banks. On this day me and my brother fished the Hatteras Island flats. Searching for redfish and trout which were elusive this day, we did run into some other toothy fish. Also a crazy school of giant 2ft long Mullet! Hope you guys enjoy!

Bro! I fished this same spot a week after you -- about 150-200 yards west of where you were in this video (actually did two videos, one where I came back and focused on clamming, neither posted yet, I'm as slow at editing as you are, lol) -- and in my 2nd trip I caught a RIDICULOUSLY huge mullet in my cast net! I legit thought I had a slot drum at first. It was my last day so I let it go, but it would have provided cut bait for a couple days of surf fishing. And what's up with all the flatties? I'm in town again right now and I've never caught more keeper flounder than I have this Oct/Nov. Maybe NC can loosen up the founder restrictions a bit...?

[@SchusterFishes]

Yeah I’m trying to spread this videos out over the winter lol. Flounder are everywhere it’s wild. Sucks season is closed or else would have a limit

[@LexHuntFish]

Man The flounder got obliterated the 14 days it was open. It’s all about politics and money. Can’t let the recreational anglers have too many fish 🙄🙄🙄 I stopped targeting them this year other than the 14 days we had open. Welcome to North Carolina. Gill nets are legal But we can’t keep a flounder a day.

@@LexHuntFish man they were hitting on every beach I went, big ones too….it’s a shame smh. They seem damn plentiful to me lol

[@minniesfishies3024]

LOL, I fished that same pair of trees one day between Oct 17-23rd 2021, and spent a good hour chasing what was probably the very same school of mullet! Some were flat out huge. They say reds will follow mullet to feed on what the mullet churn up but we only got 1 red all day, and not in that area. We did catch quite a few flounder drifting along with the current, but 1/4 mile or more out from this shoreline.

I fished over at the inlet last November and caught flounder on every cast. Come on NC open up the season

[@geraldbostock9858]

[@SchusterFishes]

I’ll have a video coming from ocracoke up next

[@LexHuntFish]

Great video!! Slayed the Flatties !!

[@salteastsimon]

Its almost that time of the year my friend! a week a way and the people will be going crazy in the flats over those!

[@SchusterFishes]

I’ll be there soon

[@bcask61]

Nice video. That is such a cool place to fish. I hope it doesn’t get too popular.

[@jamieharris7858]

I'll be there the week of Oct 9th. going to try my hand at jigging. Do you recommend anything other than what you used last year???

[@fishingwithme9545]

As usual nice video! When did you switch to the shield 4000? I'm used to you using a slammer.

[@SchusterFishes]

Thanks man. I still got the slammer but it’s a little big, 4500. I got the shield couple months back. My clash 4000 got beat up, it replaced that

[@michaelross5674]

That flatty is dinner boy????? You can't keep flounder there??? Not big enough?? Or wrong time of year??.. I'm looking to move down that way from Delaware.. right now I'm in Wilmington Delaware

[@SchusterFishes]

They’ve been closing the season for a few years now, only open for like 2 weeks out the year

[@skylaneav8r902]

We are full. Sorry.

[@titaniumhud1536]

lizardfish are the prime reason i dont like jigging, they tear gulps up. fun to catch but bad on the gear

[@SchusterFishes]

They were everywhere lol. They do get old, bummer we couldn’t of kept the flounder or else it would of been a solid day

[@minniesfishies3024]

Z-Man baits hold up a lot better against lizards or blues.
