Doing Nothin’

The past weekend marked the end of the summer season on the outer banks. Fall arrived like a lion.  Winds, up to 30 mph gusting to 50mph from the northeast, pushed the ten foot waves crashing onto our beaches. The weather was cloudy and cool and felt more like a late fall day. Even the water cooled down to the low 70’s.

Fishing was non-existent.  Surfers were also surprisingly absent.  Maybe the weather was too nice. I even tried to cast into the ocean’s close in wash for a late leaving pompano or a lazy puppy drum but the winds kept my line from even reaching the near slough.

I had hoped to go fishing with my Dad on Saturday who had come down for the week but because of the nor’easter type weather we were resigned to just enjoy our company. What a great way to do nothin.
