Topsail & Surf City Outdoors-Fishing Report 9-1-09
September 1st, 2009 by SFTC PressHi folks, Capt. David here with this weeks outdoors report. The fish are biting and hunting season is coming in! Redfish are everywhere in the sound and Flounder are too! Last week I was catching reds on a dock along the waterway and caught a 5.47 lb flounder and a 4.13 lb flounder off the same dock as the reds. Just goes to show you that predator fish like the same spots.
Offshore the fish are biting from the beach on out,you just have to decide what you want to fish for! Grouper and other bottom fish are on the ledges and reefs. Kings are from the beach on out and sails are still in the mix. Be careful when you go out because it seems like every weekend we have a storm offshore kicking up the waves. New river and Topsail inlets are rough if we have a big swell so be safe!
Dove season comes in the 5th at noon and the local game lands have some good fields if you don’t have access to a private hunt. Now some of you folks might not understand that Labor day dove hunting is a southern tradition. If you have never experienced a traditional hunt, it’s not about the hunt, it’s about the family and fellowship.
Deer season comes in on the 12th and I personally can’t wait! Check your stands and practice with your bow because the next few weeks are the only time you stand a chance of getting a velvet buck and if you miss you will hate yourself for a while. Well thats it for this week so get out there and take a kid with you!
