Fishing Report Jan 28th 2014

It’s 29 degrees as I post this and that will probably be today’s high.  Winds are N 20 – 30, the forecast calls for a 90% chance of snow later with an accumulation of 1-2 inches with more tonight and tomorrow, heavy at times.  Todays sunset at 5:24 PM likely will not be visable and neither will tomorrow’s sunrise at 7:06 AM.
First tide is a high at 4:37 AM followed with a low at 11:10 AM
Second tide is high at 4:57 PM with the low at 11:13 PM

I seriously do not expect anyone to attempt fishing on the northern beaches for the next couple days.  That being said, the report from Hatteras Island is that several puppy drum and black drum were caught Monday afternoon on the south side of Cape Hatteras.  Day old satellite imagery show warm water eddies at cape point.  There are folks talking about fishing the point tonight for drum during the snowstorm.  If you live down there, I’d say knock yourself out – if you live on the northern beaches, you might want to re think that option.

This is the short version – conditions on the sandbar are going to be horrendous the next couple of days!!!  Expect freezing temps, high winds, icy roads with 4 – 8 inches of snow.  As long as we don’t lose power, we should be all right.  Just hunker down and don’t try anything foolish like with indoor grills or generators or whatever.

Stay safe, stay warm, good luck.    Coolbreeze out
