These are from my trip the other day with Gary Hurley of the Fisherman’s Post and Ryan White of Hatteras Jack Tackle Shop in Rodanthe. We had a great time in some sketchy weather. We caught a handful of houndfish, which put on a great show on light tackle. We have been catching them on just about every outing right along with the drum. They make great fun by jumping just like a blue marlin hence the nickname “marsh marlins”. I think they are actually Atlantic Needlefish and I think there is a subtle difference but it’s more fun to call them hounddoggers.
