Topsail Beach Fishing Report: Red Hot Inshore Red Drum Bite

Here is the latest Topsail Beach fishing report from Captain Mike Hoffman of Topsail Island Fishing Guides. The inshore fishing scene has been incredibly productive despite the significant rainfall earlier in the season. The bait fish have congregated in thick schools, setting the stage for some explosive topwater action for Red Drum during the first few hours of daylight. Anglers have had great success with sight-casting in these early morning hours.

As the sun climbs higher, the bite transitions. The most effective technique has been using live mullet fished under popping corks. Around 9 AM, as the day heats up, the bite tends to slow down, which is typical for this time of year.

If you want to experience the action described in this Topsail Beach fishing report, give Captain Mike a call to book a trip out of Topsail Beach or Surf City, NC.
