Gag Grouper

Topsail Island Fishing Report

Topsail Island is a haven for anglers looking for a great fishing experience. With the fall season in full swing, bottom fishing for Grouper and Snapper is an excellent way to put some dinner on the table. The cooler temperatures also mean that we start seeing Yellowfin tuna offshore. 

Grouper and Snapper are two of the most popular fish species that can be found in Topsail Island waters. They are bottom feeders and can be caught using traditional bottom fishing techniques such as drifting or anchoring over structure. For best results, use live bait or cut bait and drop it down to where they are feeding.

Yellowfin tuna is one of the sought-after game fish in Topsail Island during this time of year. These hard-fighting fish can be found offshore around deep water structures like oil rigs, wrecks, and reefs.
