Welcome! My name is Mike Becker, aka: Topsail Angler. I’m an avid fisherman, having grown up near Topsail Island, North Carolina, I have been saltwater fishing most of my life.
This website includes many resources related to fishing in the coastal waters of Topsail Island, including catching reports (aka: fishing reports ), fishing trip reports, local fishing related events and more. The site also features live fishing tweets, a fishing wiki, fish photos, forums and links to other useful websites.

Gery (hunters haven) and I left the dock about 6:15 this morning to do some trolling. Our first stop was at the hard bottom and ledges about a mile of the beach in front of the Jolly Roger hotel. We caught a couple of nice Spanish Mackerel, one weighed over 4 pounds, and a small bluefish.
