Hello from Topsail Beach. My dad is down for a visit, and he fished Surf City Pier for a few hours this evening. I didn't go with him, as I was waiting for our grandchildren to get here. Dad caught several small virginia mullets, and a couple of nice big ones. He reports that most anglers on the pier seemed to be catching a few, but no one was catching a bunch. There were also some small sharks, and a few skates. I still can't tell you anything promising about the surf, as I haven't talked to anyone that has caught anything from the surf. Fishing on the inside can get small "dink" speckled trout, and puppy drum.
