Topsail & Surf City Outdoors-Fishing Report 8-3-09
August 3rd, 2009 by CCCB PressHi folks, Capt. David with the outdoors report. The fishing is hot everywhere. Inshore or offshore, whatever you enjoy catching is available. Redfish and flounder are everywhere in the sound from back up in the creeks to along the waterway. The Finger mullet are plentiful and are the top choice now. A fat Flounder can’t pass up a 4-5 inch Mulllet on a Carolina rig. Just fish around docks and piers till you find a productive dock. Structure is the key to finding fish this time of the year. Docks, Oyster reefs, Creek mouth’s are the first place to look. Don’t waste a lot of time if the Pinfish are tearing up your bait either. Move to the next spot and while you’re at it, keep a eye out for baitfish jumping and running. That means the something scared them and that’s usually a big fish!
Offshore has been kinda rough lately but when you can get out, the fishing is great. Kings from the beach on out, Mahi 10-15 miles out and Sailfish scattered around to keep it interesting. The bottom fishing is good to on the hardbottoms and reefs. Snapper, Grouper and Black bass are all possible.
On the hunting side, it’s almost time again boys and girls! Dove season at labor day then bow season for deer on Sept. 12th. Clean your shotgun and warm up with a few skeet then get out your bow and practice. Check your treestand and harness. Let the games begin! Well thats it for this week so remember to be safe and take a kid with you!
