just quiet

a quiet sunrise.. the lake as well.. 'wet a line'..only pure hell-- not a taker..ugh  :)

even on a cloudy yucky day with a few sprinkles..

 I had to get out there early at the non-sunrise hour ..  wet a line at the local Oyster Bay lake.. got 2 Largemouth Bass landed.. lost 2 more.. all on Yami plastic worms.. the Osprey once again came out after the Bald Eagle and chased him across the lake where he landed on his regular perch..  on the drive home saw this guy just off the side of the road feasting on some 'breakfast'.. I cloned out the 'breakfast'...a Knockout Rose and a Bass Pro Shop's Aquarium shot

kewler but nice

early morning before sunrise temps at 53*..a nice sunrise brought me down to the beach at 40th street.. got busy this morning at the beginning of a weekend with a regular dog-walker and a touron-jogger passing me by :) ;)   ..it was off to the lake on the drive back home...no hits as I tried wetting a line for a few minutes... the resident Osprey battled the local Bald Eagle while in flight once again as the Eagle got a bit too close to its nest ..Osprey chased the eagle to other side of lake--a regular happening on this side of the lake

as it spoiled the sunrise.. oh well.. but it turned into a nice sunny day in the low 70's so not too bad at all.. and a few signs near the beach access

the sun peaked thru

another nice morning

'it don't get no more better-er' than this... except if there were fish in the surf.. out before Sunrise down at 40th street on Sunset Beach as a few deer greeted me as I was walking across the dunes-walkway.. just one dog-walker passed me by the entire time I was on the beach..  a nice quiet peaceful sunny morning

greeted by these gals along the dunes-walkway

there's always a need for some more reels
