Hello from Surf City!
Fishing Report: Topsail Island anglers have been catching sea mullets for several weeks now. The bite is mostly at night, with a few during the day. The piers are producing better than the surf. Sand fleas seem to be the bait of choice, but they are still hard to find. Cut fresh shrimp is also doing well. I have news that an surf angler fishing with cut shrimp in the surf, landed a keeper speckled trout today. A few small "snapper" blues have also been landed from the local piers. Anglers fishing the inside, [creeks and flats off the intracoastal waterway] have been catching keeper specks all winter, some really nice ones up to 5 lbs. But with the warmer surf temps and the recent rains, the speckled trout and the red drum are starting to move out of the creeks and towards the inlets. The water temps in the area average about 64 degrees. With a few days of full sun and some southwest wind, the water temp should rise and with the warmer water, expect to see lots more blues, flounder, sea mullets, speckled trout, black drum, and red drum.
Till next time....
Tight lines!
