Captain
Michael Oppegaard

Member since January 2018 Topsail Beach, United States

Background: Captain Michael Oppegaard comes from a fishing family. His grandparents owned a “fish camp” on Lea Island (Old Topsail) before WWII so the family ties started before the island was even developed. Michael’s grandfather expanded the Sound Pier only three years after he purchased it in 1963. The family ran it successfully for four decades. So saying that Michael grew up with a fishing pole in his hand would be an understatement!
Techniques: Light tackle, Fly Fishing

Fishing Reports

Less crowds, Clear water

Feb 14, 2022 Topsail Beach

The crowds have thinned this time of year and the water is crystal clear. Now is the time to sight fish for redfish. For something different there is always Stripers on the Cape Fear. Don't let the weather keep you inside. This is my favorite time of year for technical fishing.

Winter fishing.

Dec 26, 2020 Topsail Beach

I know that Christmas has passed and few, if any, think about fishing. For the brave souls out there who are willing to put on some warm clothes it is a great time. The crowds have thinned out and the fish will still cooperate with the patient angler. Come enjoy a day on the water, relax with the slower pace of winter.

Fishing is as hot as the weather

Jul 23, 2020 Topsail Beach

The temperature is hot but the fishing has been good. Spanish, kings, blues and flounder have been off the beach. Inshore the red drum have been biting with aome regularity and should do better as we get closer to the fall

Summer fishing a starting to heat up.
