Hello from Topsail Beach! Please be careful when swimming in the ocean at Topsail. Rip currents are bad, and several people have been rescued after getting caught in a rip current. Remember, rip currents are usually worse at low tide. If you get caught in a rip current, you will be pulled out to sea, until you get out of the rip. Don't try to swim to shore against the rip. Instead, swim parallel to the shore until you are free from the current, then swim to shore. There was at least one death reported at North Carolina beaches this weekend. Be careful!
Topsail Island Fishing Report
The first King Mackerel of the year was caught off the end of the Sea View Pier Saturday. The king weighed 16 pounds. Make some fine steaks! Sea View Pier also reports that Flounder were caught in the surf along with Mullets, Pompano, Croakers and some Spots. Spanish Mackerel and Blues were caught sporadically. Surf City Pier reports there have been some black drum, a few mullet and a blue or two, and some sheepshead. Jolly Roger reports a few blues, spanish, mullets, spots, a couple of pompano, a few keeper flounder and some red drum. Inside the action is coming from red drum. The finger mullet are moving into the sounds and the flounder bite should improve. Fish structure for red drum with finger mullet or Berkley Gulp fished on a carolina rig. Now is the time to start drift fishing for flounder. Use finger mullet on a carolina rig, be sure to use enough weight to keep the bait down. Surf fishing continues to improve with sea mullets and black drum, with the occasional red drum near the inlets. Lee Island is holding a few reds also.
