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!!!
