Hello everyone
My name is Dean and I vacation each year on Topsail to enjoy the beach and surf fish.
I’m 50 years young and love to surf fish and enjoy the sun and sand. My wife and I rent a big house every year in August and invite family and friends down to enjoy the island. We
all love Topsail Isle. Most of my family are from the Burlington/Greensboro area and go to
either Topsail or Emerald Isle every year. We got to Emerald Isle in July and return the favor in August. I look forward to meeting many of you and reading all the good advice on fishing the area.

Hey Dean - welcome to the site!  I hope you enjoy your visit to Topsail this year (and every year).  I grew up in this area and really love it here.  Be sure to post your fishing reports and photos from your trip, we look forward to it.

Mike

Thanks for the welcome Mike. It’s appreciated. Quick question. I’m staying just South of the Surf City limits but often drive to the North end of the Island to where the road ends and you can drive out on the beach at the inlet. Near where the condemned houses are out in the surf. 2 questions: 1.) Is it OK to fish there at the inlet and 2.) Is it worth the ride early in the morning to drive up there to fish.

You can fish the north end of the island in the inlet channel.  The backside of the point is public land.  Lots of folks fish there - I haven’t fished there since I was a kid but I see a lot of people there at times when I go through the inlet.  You might want to give it a try at least on one morning.

Thanks for the advice.  I’ll give it a try.
