an early morning storm close by

left the house at 530am heading over to the beach.. as I pulled out of my driveway the rain came down in buckets...on the drive over to the beach crossing the Calabash River-- no more rain..I stopped for the Sunrise on the Causeway on the island side of the Bridge..a nice sunrise with enuff clouds to make it interesting..  off to the west behind me a storm was building down toward Myrtle Beach on the other side of Little River inlet..  I stopped on the beach near the pier.. snapped some more pics.. what a storm-sky.. made my way back across the bridge for the drive home stopping at the Calabash River as the rains started once again...

a quiet Sunday morning

too much early morning traffic at the beach at Sunrise with the Church services starting near the pier so avoided staying on the island too long...  stopped along the causeway to 'wet a line' .. nada... and back at the lake.. zilch...even checked out 'around the bend' on  Rt 179 at the ICW.. squat.. guess the water temps just got too warm too fast..passed by this older Boston Whaler for sale on the drive home

early morning..

bypassed going over to the beach once again with low tide spoiling the fishing..headed to the causeway then back to the ICW and lake...for the heck of it I checked the weather and temps where we were a couple of weeks ago up in Nova Scotia and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island earlier today... Charlottetown was 38º with rain.. Nova Scotia at 50º.. brrrrrrr..... it hit 92º here this afternoon a bit warmer than up north in Canada

ICW at Sunrise

no beach today with the exceptional low-low tide so tried my luck wetting a line at the small pier under the bridge on the ICW..nada..

the tide was low-low

so left the fishing gear in my truck while snapping some sunrise and pier pics at the beach.. a beautiful pretty morning ..amazing how little water was under the pier at this low tide.. caught this gecko at the house on our lamp-post sunning himself when I got home.. he saw me getting too close so he red throated me with a puff-out

at the beach again

back down to the beach at sunrise.. plugged for a half hour or so..same result.. nada.. plenty of Bunker --Menhaden- schools running the surf.. just no bumps... stopped up at da' Pier found Tom .. saw him land a monster flounder.. well how about a throwback shorty...nice weather... calm seas..
