Went out today with my friend John. We started heading out to the schoolhouse, but we ran into some rain about 3/4 of the way. We headed north away from the rain, and ended up about 20 miles out from Topsail inlet. A good location recommended by who else but The Topsail Angler. We trolled some Balleyhoo and within minutes hooked up with the first False Albacore. After a couple of sharks, another nice False Albacore hit. The temp was in the mid 60s and the water was like a sheet of glass. No waves or swells to speak of. We had a terrific day fishing with weather that couldn't be beat for this time of year.
