Un-Predicable Weather – Oh My!
Oh my!! Hurricanes, major flooding, winds, roads washed out, storm surges, and several of the most popular fishing areas on eastern Carolina are significantly damaged and closed for the season.
And now I hear that the Outer Banks can expect another powerful “nor ‘ester” heading to our area mid-week. Something we definitely do not need. Add all this to my crazy travel schedule at work and it equals zero fishing time.
I guess we should be thankful our little island wasn’t damaged worse. I send my thoughts and prayers to my family and friends up north who don’t even have power, phone or in some case they don’t even have a home to go to after “Sandy” visited. I received a report that power in some areas may not be back for more than a week.
I see devastation in many of these areas. I am sure angling; boating or even finding a comfortable place sit down to read a paper or watch a football game. I am sure this is the last thing on their minds.
So let begin by saying things will get better. Normalcy will return with patience and determination.
My last angling outing before the storm hit was on the Kitty Hawk fishing pier. Puppy drum, trout, spot and blues were in abundance. Bait choices were all over the board. Fish were hitting anything in the water.
If you happen to be here, several piers are still open. Surf fishing is outstanding. Inshore and offshore boats are still operating.
Need a break from the anxiety from the past weeks weather, come visit, we are open. Just like my first mate and me, we came here for a short visit and stayed a decade.
Until next time – Tightlines, Capt. Tony
