Topsail Area Charter Boats
2009 NC Recreational Coastal Waters Guide
Spots are biting two at a time at Surf City Pier. Right now spots are being caught two at a time. Weather is crummy and surf is rough, which is great for spot fishing. Blood worms are probably catching five to one over cut fresh shrimp. Pompano and sea mullets, and black drum are biting also. I saw more flounder today than in a long time. One angler had six beauties. I probably saw 20 to 25 small under limit flounder go back in the water. Also saw a 23 to 24 inch speckled trout caught on a live shrimp, carolina rig. Don't have a report from the other piers, but it's probably much of the same. Wind, rain, nasty weather............. perfect for spot fishing! Go Get 'um! If you can find a place to squeeze in with the shoulder to shoulder, suds to the end of pier, spot frenzy. Man, I had forgotten how good the cappuccino at Surf City Pier is, until today while fishing in the cold damp weather at the pier.
Got this email and picture from a blog reader. Thanks to Mark Watkins for sending the pic.

Caught this red drum one just off the pier in the coast last Sunday Oct. 4th.
We estimated over 40lbs before thowing it back.
Fought around 20-25 minutes on 5-10lb test.
Too much fun.
