It's a bit overcast today, and not quite as humid. My fishing friend said that this was a good day for the fish to be biting. When I asked him if it made a difference whether or not there was a drizzle he pointed out that the fish didn't care because they were already wet. … (0 comments)

I lived on a 28' Chris Craft from June 30, 1970 until May 1, 1971, in Southport, and also traveled the Intracoastal Waterway from Southport to Washington, DC and South to Riviera Beach, Florida.
