wind is up.. fish aren't

tried wetting a line in the surf once again.. nada.. winds were up NNE at 15+ with a possible tropical development just offshore of the Carolina coast... weather stayed nice thru the early afternoon when we went back to the ICW and watched a storm front blow in from offshore.. a couple of hot-spots--water spouts--started to develop but dissipated  before anything happened.. wind gusts up to 25-30 as some boaters just ignored the weather and continued to launch their boats at the local ICW boat ramp..
