Hot fishing at Topsail Beach, NC

When I say hot, I mean HOT!!! The temperatures around here the last couple of weeks have been in the mid 90′s and we have been hammered with strong SW winds. That has made for some tough fishing conditions.
There are still good quality fish around, but the fishing is a little more tough. Water temps are in the mid 80′s and the fish just don’t want to eat. Most of the fish have moved off of the flats and into deeper holes in search of cooler water.
Hard work and persistence will pay off as seen in the pic above. Terrell, Will and myself pounded the water for hours, but were finally rewarded by finding a school of upper slot fish holding in a deep hole that instantly produced a double hook-up. Though Will pulled the hook on his fish, Terrell managed to land his fish.
If you are going to be in the Topsail area or any of the other beach areas in the Cape Fear Region, give me a call or shoot me an email and book a trip!! The Redfish will be right on through the summer, fall and winter.
Tight lines!!!

Good Redfish bite at Topsail Beach
The Redfish bite in Topsail Beach area has been on fire the past couple of weeks. I have been finding lots of fish that have been willing to bite topwater baits. Zara Spooks and Top Pups have been working the best. The cold front that came through over the fourth of July weekend cooled down the water some and the fish responded by schooling up making for some exciting sight fishing in the shallow bays and flats.
The best bites have been in the early morning from sun up until about 10:00. After that, the wind tends to pick up and the fish aren’t as easy to see. The fish tend to want other baits such as soft plastics and bucktail jigs as the sun gets up and the heat of the day sets in.
If you are going to be in the Topsail area or other areas of the Cape Fear Region and would like to go fishing, give me a call and book a trip. I have good dates still available and the fishing is fantastic!!
