North Topsail Beach Area Fishing

Just look for the holes and structure under the waves. Inlets are always a good bet for fish. Surf fishing requires some skill to find the decent spots.

Look for something like this and you'll be good. Should catch blues, drum, and flounder... :)

Don't let Parker swim where you are fishing.

Get one of those setups to mount all the poles on the front of your Jeep. That will look good.
 
Front and rear pole mounts. Trays for coolers. Use those Rigid lights to light up the beach at night. This is going to be an awesome fishing rig!!
 
just mainly look for somthing "different" along the breaker line, a point, or an inlet, or a cut, in the waves like rockcity showed you and dont worry about being way for out there i have caught some decent fish really close to shore!! man i wish i were going down for a week I love that place!!! have fun
 
flounder are up in the shallows and slot drum cruise the sandbars at the sloughs, which is usually less than 50 yards off the shore and sometimes just knee deep :)
 
There is a really nice pier on the north end, biggest pier I have ever fished off of. I haven't been there since 2003 though.
 
There is a party fishing boat called the vonda kay that was pretty cheap if i remember right check into that.
 
I like to fish one pole w tiny hooks on a bottom rig to catch pinfish for cutbait. I also keep a rod ready w a Kastmaster or Mr. Champ spoon on if I see Blues or Spanish jumping/schooling in the breakers, a rod I can cast them a long way with and try to skip it on the surface as fast as I can reel. It's a blast to catch Blues and Spanish in the surf on light tackle!!

Well fishing from the beach in front of the house produced nothing but it could have been for lack of effort too. Lol

I went to the Sea View Pier with my nephew and my dad who by the way turns into a professional fisherman once he gets a rod in his hand and I hit a under sized Spanish Mackrel a flounder and a couple pig fish. My dad got skunked there and my nephew caught a few pig fish too.

Now for the fun part. I fished the inlet every day and it was great. We caught mullet, flounder only (4 keepers all week), sea bass, a lizard fish (first for me), pig fish, speckled trout, and a ray. All in all I will probably only fish the inlet from now on when I'm down there. We used live minnows and shrimp in addition to frozen shrimp, squid, and bloodworms. I also used a couple Gotcha lures I picked up down there along with some gulp I already had. All in all in was a great week of fishing and vacation.

I'll look and see what pictures I have but I think I only took a few. Most of the time I was wet so holding my phone wasn't a priority.
 
My son was there last week and fished off a canoe in the waterway. He caught 20-30 fish for the week. He was with the other 20 year old idiots running around on the north end.
 
Good deal because there was a couple kids in a white XJ out there doing donuts and driving back in the tidal zone like idiots. I was close to calling the law but I didn't because they quickly left. At least they had the respect to do what they were doing away from all the people on the beach.

Now to the ass that came out there joyriding in his Armada with his kids in the truck not buckled in I hope the PD wrote you a nice fine. Also for the next time you decide to drive in the soft sand on the beach don't gun it when the tires start spinning. I should have pulled him out by his bumper and ripped it off for being an idiot but I was hoping the PD got there before someone else got him out. Is that mean?
