Eight Pointer
Has anyone seen in the news about the new island that has formed south of the point at Hatteras. Estimated to be 1 mile long and 300 yards wide, about 50 yards south of point. Could not load link, use Google to see.
It's probly all the beach renourishment sand from the northern beaches washing down there....
Over the 40+ years that I've been fishing the point there in Buxton on Hatteras, I've seen many islands form off the point. Some were easily accessed by simply wading a few yards to them and some were a few hundred yards off the point. Regardless of how near or far they were from the point, they all have had one thing in common and that is that they all eventually went away. This will either get washed away in a strong storm rip current or will be come attached to and become part of the point. My bet is that come couple months from now or this fall a strong roll in and that island will be completely gone 2-3 days. The only way it will last is it will have to become a part of the point itself and even then there is no guarantee it will last then.
ive seen it im gonna fish around it come july 15
I read on another site, that someone had found a chest out there that had " E. Teach" on it.
