Topsail Report and Computer Problems

Spanish, blues, flounder, black drum, red drum, sea mullets, small spots, croakers, and a few pompano and speckled trout are biting from piers, and starting to bite better in the surf. The numbers aren't huge, but improving. There have been a few kings reported, but not many landed. Sand fleas can be found, but not in large quantities yet. Glass minnows are in the surf, but I no finger mullets. Finger mullets are showing up in the sounds where the flounder, red drum, speckled trout, and black drum bite is improving quickly. Warm weather and south winds are predicted so fishing should improve even more. The bait shops have some great looking shrimp, and that makes for some good bait. Again, I won't fish with shrimp I wouldn't eat. The fishing forecast is looking good, with mild weather and only a small chance of afternoon thunderstorms predicted.

Just a reminder, we are still having some bad rip currents in the surf. Be careful!

My computer is down, so posts will be infrequent until I get it back up. Sorry for the inconvenience. We still have a few other contributors, so keep up to date with their posts. Thanks for your understanding while this problem persists.

Good Fishing!
Till next time....
Tight lines!
