Blues at New Topsail Inlet

Hello from Surf City!
Got a report today from a couple of anglers, they caught several nice blues at New Topsail Inlet. Read more.... The anglers were fishing with cut shrimp and frozen and thawed cut jumping hardhead mullet. They also caught a few small sea mullets on the cut shrimp. I was told that sandfleas (mole crabs) were nowhere to be found near the inlet. As the water warms, more blues as well as more and bigger sea mullets will be showing up. With the water temperature at 64 degrees, all we need is a few days of south-west winds. The winds are out of the north-west today. The current air temp is 58 with a predicted high of 62. Cooler temps are predicted for tomorrow, and Wednesday, but the rest of the week will be warmer with highs in the middle to upper 70's, no rain until late Saturday and Sunday.
The tackle and bait shops have some beautiful shrimp, not sure if they are fresh caught or frozen, but they are nice just the same. I had almost a pound left from my last trip to the surf, and I grilled them for supper last night. Don't get left behind, come on down and head to your favorite pier or surf fishing hole, and while you are there, catch one for me!




Till next time....
Tight lines!
