look to the sound
If it were me I would definitely bring a light tackle rod. I make a few trips down to Hatteras each year one of them usually being in early Sept. I fish every day when I am down there but that time of year I almost exclusively fish the sound. I fish out of the kayak but much of that huge body of water doesn't get deeper than 4' so it can be waded as well. The sound offers some nice speckled trout, weakfish, puppy drum, small bluefish and if you are really really lucky small cobia. A 6-8 ft rod rated 1/4-3/4 oz with 10 lb braid used to throw 4" grub tails and berkley gulp shrimp is all it takes. A popping cork ahead of the grub tail is always good to try.
