Hello from Topsail Beach! It was a really nice day, not too much wind, and a lot of sunshine. I had appointments in J-ville all day today so no fishing for me. I hope to get out tomorrow of Thursday for sure. The present water temperature is around 58*, winds out of the east at 5 to 10 mph. Surf City Pier reports a few mullets, skates and sharks. Jolly Roger reports small sea mullets, skates and sharks. No report from the surf.

How to protect beaches on those islands, with their shifting inlets, has become a topic of debate in the halls of state government. Environmentalists say that some efforts to keep the sea from creeping further onto the islands amounts to waging a losing war against Mother Nature. Supporters of those efforts say they'd just like to get Mother Nature to cooperate a bit with them.
