Went fishing with a good friend, Billy, in his boat, always good to fish other folks boats, if everything works. Everything did, but the weather. :crook:

We have been watching the reports and thought this would be the day for the
grouper, calm seas and skies, but the FOG.

It never lifted. visibilty about 50 yards all day.


Why do people spend 10s of thousands of dollars on boats and don't have 200 dollar GPS's? We were a ways up the East river when we run into a couple
looking for the lighthouse, we did the best we could with the directions.

2 hours later, we find them again around the oyster bars and gave them safe
passage to the channel. second boat that day.

Sorry, we ended the day with 2 flounders, a trout and rock bass. Oh ya a couple of stingrays. Most with shrimp on the bottom. one on a spoon.

Water was much clearer and about 61 degrees.

You guys thinking about tomorrow, be careful out there.

"A bad day fishin, is better than a good day at work"

You did better than we did over at Keaton. But yer right, the fog was terrible. We got wet trying to run in it.

Man I was supposed to go fishing with Billy...............

Billy's a good fisherman, and great company.
But it was one of our weirdest days on the water, with all that fog.

The fog has been bad...I guess you can blame me....It was foggy as all get out in Atlantic city....I must of drug it down here ...

I wondered the cause, never seen fog like it.
You walk on water and control the fog.
catch redfish without a boat.
im me with the numbers.

Is the fog always so bad this time of year?

usually it burns off sometime in the morning, this length of time
is unusual. I guess because of the the cold water and warm air.

Maybe some other members could give the real skinny

Not usually. This sort of fog on the water is typical during some early spring days, not in January. The prolonged warm air temperature with 60 degree water is what does the deed.

The trick is to take this fog as a lesson: mark routes or buoys with the gps when the sun is shining - then when all turns to soup you can come in easily.
