Been Tricked Not Treated
Weather on the Outer Banks has just “frightful”. This week following Halloween has been rainy and windy. The surf has not been this angry since Hurricane Irene visited us several months ago. Fishing has been halted in it tracks. Last weekend is, we caught all the trout, croaker, spot and black drum we wanted. But not this weekend. And the conditions don’t look to get better for another several days.
Thought you might enjoy the scene at the Avalon Pier today.
Heard earlier that even the ferries from Swan Quarter, Ocracoke and Hatteras have been suspended. Extended forecast is better weather first of the week. We sure hope so.
I plan to ride the beach and visit several of the sound side bridges on Saturday. With a little luck, I might find a calm spot and a fish that seems to like my lure better than holding on the bottom.
Until next time
