Got The Blues



Greetings from the Cape Fear Coast

Four days of wind and the forecast called for 10-15 NW and laying by afternoon. A friend got out to AR 370 yesterday and said the water temp was 58 deg. The map is a large difference from the March 20, 2008 posted map. The North wind blew in some cold air and water. We hit the water a 07:30 and got out to 7mile rock after about 45mins. We did see a large whale breach near the Masonboro Sea buoy but could not get a picture. The wind was blowing WNW and no Bonito or Blues were to be found. Rolled off to AR 376 ( Ten Mile Box Car ) and marked large schools of bait but nothing larger feeding, water temp was 62.4 deg.

We ran back to the Liberty Ship and did find some blues but no Bonito. So we took it to the house. One day the water will get right and stay that way.

Rip'em up and let some go
