SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Like the other reports for today, cold water and no fish for me inside.

Went to work in the AM because of the heavy fog at the river, launched at noon, couldn't see the Coast Guard station from the boat launch. Putted around the pier to the West and set one top line with an in line board and one shallow rigger. Cycled between riggers, lead core, and surface lures, not much you can do running solo ( 2 rods out )

I didn't run off shore because of the fog and the impending weather change coming, and running solo in a 17 footer. Around 2:00, I could actually feel the pressure change in my sinus cavity, so I pulled rods and headed for the river, knowing a 17 foot aluminum boat with the canvas up can turn into a sail boat quickly...... I just made the river in time....

Here's the weather data from the Summerville Pier weather station

2:10 PM..... wind @ 6 kts. gusts @ 8.9 kts.

2:20.......... wind @ 20 kts. gusts @ 25.1 kts.

2:30.......... wind @ 19 kts. gusts @ 31.1 kts.

Safety is no accident.

Good luck next time out.
