Once again we had small craft advisories posted on Wednesday and they were already up for Thursday.  Other than when hurricanes came by, this is the longest stretch of windy weather I can remember during the summer.  Truth is most hurricanes don’t hang around for over a week.  It does look like Friday may be…

The sun came out on Sunday, but small craft advisories remained in effect and will probably stay up all week.  It just ain’t looking good for fishing in the ocean or bay. One location that could be productive this week is the sidewalk at Indian River Inlet.  I continue to get reports of croaker caught…

Saturday saw small craft advisories flying and no one I spoke with went out.  Sunday doesn’t look much better.  If the tropical depression off the coast of Hatteras behaves itself we may be able to return to fishable weather by Tuesday. Quite often, after a northeast blow, the offshore grounds turn on.  This is especially…

The first of the thunder, lightning and heavy rain hit before noon on Friday and if anyone went out ahead of that they were very sorry.  Small craft advisories are already up for Saturday and I expect them to continue into Sunday.  Then there is a possible tropical depression between Hatters and Bermuda that is…
