Hello from Topsail Beach! Jolly Roger pier reports that a few mullets were caught this morning. They didn't see the catch, so no information on size or quantity. Surf City Pier reports sea mullets and puffers being caught. They have a picture of big Tim on the SC Pier website with his catch of a dozen virginia mullet. Click on the "What's Biting" link. Way to go Tim! I will be on Surf City Pier Monday, Lord willing, to catch a mess of those mullets for supper. Today the surf at Topsail Beach was really rough. Too rough and windy for me to surf fish. The weather is forecast to be better tomorrow. For the next seven days, there is no rain in the forecast and the high temps are in the 70's six of the seven days. The sea water temp is at 60*. It's time to get out there! See you on the pier! Good luck to all.
FISHING LICENSE NOW REQUIRED!
Don't forget, a saltwater license is required to fish in the ocean as well as the sounds behind the island.
As of January 1, 2007, anyone over the age of 16 will need a license to fish in all North Carolina "coastal waters."
For details on obtaining a license go to http://www.ncfisheries.net/recreational/NCCRFLfaq.htm or you can buy one at the local tackle shops. A license is not required to fish from any one of the island's three ocean fishing piers. They have purchased a blanket license to cover the cost for you.
