NOTES

The fish are fired up!

Topsail Island

WIth the warmer weather has gotten the fish really fired up offshore! We've been seeing a lot of Spanish mackerel and bonito right off the beach with more showing up everything day. The king markerel bite has been really good offshore with the fish really holding on wrecks and other structures. Grouper season will open up may 1st! so it's time to get some fish boxes full of them and many other bottom fish to go along with it. When weather has allowed and we've been able to get to the Gulfstream. We've been seeing nice size Schools off mahi. Wahoo and tuna are really starting to push through! It's prime time to get out to the Gulfstream and get on some really nice fish when weather will allow!

Gear & Tackle Used:

trolling spoons and deep diving baits for Spanish and bonito. Offshore we've been trolling live and dead baits.
