Hello from Topsail Beach! The following is a fishing report from Capt Rick Bennett.

"...............Inshore: Water temps have risen to around 70 and the spring weed is just about gone. Live baits are showing up. All this means it's time for the reds and flounder to turn on and that is what is happening inshore right now. Best bait is live menhaden fished on a carolina rig.
Near Shore: Near shore fishing has been pretty much on fire when the wind is reasonable; We have had very good catches of spanish, bonito and even some spring kings. Most of the fish are being caught on planers and clarkspoons.
Offshore: The king mackerel bite continues to be strong in the 18-25 mile areas. Live bait, cigar minnows, ballyhoo...all are working well.
Gulfstream: When the boats have gotten out, I have received reports of good catches of wahoo and mahi, along with some blackfin tuna............."

Looks like rain today, a front offshore will be pushing rain clouds in from the south. Of course we all know that the forecast is likely to be wrong for Topsail Beach. Being right on the ocean, it is frequent that the clouds stay offshore for some reason. Hopefully that will be the case today, and maybe we can get some fishing time. I'll try to get another fishing report in today.
Till next time....
Tight lines!
Johnny
