Title: FogFog and more Fog
Post by: ped579 on May 16, 2009, 01:27:26 PM
Hi All.

Well took the wife, daughter and sister-in-law out and as soon as we crested over the dune line on the ocean side the fog was really thick.  We decided to fish closer to the inlet but it seemed like no one was catching a thing.  Talked to a newbie fly fisherman and he said that the bay was the hot place to be right now.  Figures... :P

I can believe it as there must of been at least 20 vehicles parked at A21 all with empty kayak holders.  One of these days it will click again like a couple of weeks ago.

Oh well, at least the water was clear and warming up again.  BTW, if you are thinking of coming down make sure if you are planning on using bunker that you pick some up elsewhere because the fog is keeping the bunker guys in port till later in the day.

Happy Catching

Paul

That sounds great Kez.  Yeah a motor is nothing to take lightly I would hate to have to paddle that turkey back to shore... :P

I was down there yesterday and it was the same deal.  Cloudy on the mainland, light fog on the island, and you couldn't see more then 75ft out on the sand.  Unless you were riding below the high tide mark, you couldn't see the water.
And not a fish to be found anywhere out front.
