    Topsail Inlet at the northern end of Onslow Bay on the North Carolina coast separates Topsail Island from Camp Lejeune's Onslow Beach, supporting productive inshore fishing for red drum, flounder, speckled trout, and Spanish mackerel in the tidal channels and grass flats of this Pender County coastal waterway. Spot Features: Topsail Inlet separates Topsail Island from the eastern end of Onslow Beach in Pender and Onslow counties, North Carolina, with the productive tidal flows, sandy channels, and diverse estuarine habitat supporting red drum, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, sheepshead, and Spanish mackerel fishing. Seasonality: Red drum and flounder are the primary inshore targets at Topsail Inlet in Pender County, North Carolina, year-round, with red drum best in fall and flounder from September through December. Speckled trout (spotted seatrout) are spring and fall targets. Black drum and sheepshead are cool-season species. Spanish mackerel are a warm-season nearshore visitor.

    The inlet has been recently dredged and is nice and deep. Fall is the best season for fishing.
