Topsail Island
Topsail Island, nestled just to the north of Wrightsville Beach, offers a diverse array of fishing experiences. Whether you're covering ground in expansive bays, exploring shallow-water creeks, or venturing out into the open ocean, Topsail has something for every angler. This unique coastal destination truly offers the best of both worlds, with its variety of fishing spots and easy access to deeper waters.
What sets Topsail Island apart is the transformation it undergoes during the winter months. The water becomes crystal clear, providing an extraordinary opportunity for sight fishing. The pristine clarity, combined with the area's ability to attract large schools of redfish into its expansive marshes, makes for some of the most exciting and productive fly fishing or light tackle trips around. We've had some of our best days of sight fishing for redfish right here in this corner of the coast.
As with many coastal areas in southeastern North Carolina, fishing in Topsail is tide-dependent, and we plan our trips around these tide cycles to give you the best shot at a great day on the water. Our inshore trips are perfect for targeting red drum, speckled trout, and flounder, with plenty of action for anglers of all skill levels. For those seeking a nearshore adventure, we also target Spanish Mackerel, False Albacore, Cobia, Atlantic Bonito and many more.
Whether you're an experienced angler or just looking for a fun day on the water, Topsail Island is the ideal destination in this part of North Carolina for a great fishing experience. With its scenic beauty, abundant marine life, and variety of fishing options, it's a place with limitless potential for a memorable fishing experience.
