Hello from Topsail Beach. Although I didn't catch anything this weekend, Virginia mullets and black drum made a show at Jolly Roger Pier in Topsail Beach. There were also a few spot in the mix, with puffers, skates, and some good fighting dogfish. The anglers at the pier, though few in numbers, all seemed to be having a good time catching something, at least. One angler said that even the sharks were welcome, since he hadn't caught anything since the fall. Vinita at Surf City Pier reports a few virginia mullets during the day, and "lots of mullets" at night. "Paul left out of here one night with over 30 mullet and by the sounds of things he wasn't the only one....." Vinita reported on the pier website. I haven't gotten a report from the sounds recently. I have made several trips to Banks channel looking for finger mullets, and I haven't seen any yet. They should be getting on in here. Sea View Pier is completing the renovations after the fire, and should be opened soon. The bait and tackle shops in the area are gearing up for spring fishing, and they will have all you need to get your fill of fishing.
