John and Bill Toaspern fish Topsail Reds...
What a day! I guided John and Bill Toaspern this morning and we had some spectacular shots and bites from reds this morning. Bill had five bites, hooked three and landed two and I beleive that if conditions had been better for John, who fished fly this morning, he would have connected to a few fish also.
We fished the waters around Topsail and I met John and Bill by way of the article I wrote for this months Saltwater Fly Fishing magazine on Cape Fear Coast Redfishing.
I was really thrilled to have a father son today on the boat as the weather and tide were perfect, light wind falling tide and two excited anglers makes a good day. We could have easily caught more fish today and I have to hand it to these guys they really wanted to learn more about the fishery here and some new tactics!
I look forward to seeing them both again and may have the opportunity to take John and his son out this fall. Here is a picture of the one that didn't get away! The ones that did get away could have eaten this one! Not bad for a west coast steelheader and a Colorado trout fisherman. You guys will always have a spot on my skiff!
Good Luck and Good Fishing,
Capt. Seth Vernon
