Topsail catching report 9-15

Left mid morning today to give the weather and seas time to calm down a bit. Hit the bait at 10:00 and had lines in the water by 11:00. Fished 1/2 mile off of Surf City out to about 2 miles off on a series of ledges. Marked bait everywhere. Caught 2 kings - a 17 and a 12 pounder.

Managed to lose a downrigger ball too :( Braid wore through just above the clip's leader - ball and clip = $30 expensive lesson to remember to check that before ever trip!

Came back to the inlet and caught 2 Spanish in the 3 pound range and a mess of 1 -2 pound blues (where were those this morning when I tried for them to use a king baits...lol). Came back in around 5. Seas were calm and the skies were clear except for an occasional dark mass of clouds that passed pretty quickly.

Great report Mike. Did the kings come on the downrigger before you lost the ball or on top?

Thanks.

No pictures. I was by myself and too tired when I got home to mess with pictures.
