storms rolling off of Africa (tropics heating up)

[GatorBoy]

The Intertropical Convergence Zone looks like it will be heating up in the near future.. A lot of moist air seems like it will be pushing away the Saharan dust layer also

Trying to figure what that is in the pic, a dog with a bow on it or someone in a wetsuit bent over?!

Are you working the running water?

Top water. They're eating chug bugs all day long.

I just want to bring up one point About this swell we will be having for the next few days.
Over the years what I've noticed swells like these long period Storm swells we will be having come from a deeper source of energy they seem to move a lot more water than surface generated wind chop... While we probably won't see visible cuts like we do from strong northeast winds.. During high tide they should push a good distance up the beach and create a pretty large volume of water moving material kind of stripping one big layer from the beach.
And speaking of northeast winds looks like we will have some pretty good wind direction coming up soon

Long swells will also tear up sand bars so watch the rip currents....

 

[GatorBoy]

Good point..
All that water will definitely need a place to go back out

All of our area lakes are at normal or above level for the first time in a long time. They opened a spillway between two lakes that hadn't been opened in a couple of years. It was open for a week and we caught some nice bass, catfish and specks...its raining here right now.

The Big "O" was up to 15.72' as of yesterday. Hasn't been at that level in a LONG time...

Are they schooling on top?...sorry for all the questions but fishing gets my attention.

Love that town.
That was about a month ago on Hutchinson Island right behind where I work.

There are some shad busts, but you don't need to throw into one to get bit. Tie on a chug bug and it will get eaten.

 

[GatorBoy]

If you're lucky you can catch one big enough for me to use for bait :-)

Nice. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford an offshore boat.

We used to crush them with the Charlies worms. They had this rootbeer colored lizard that would get mangaled. Good times that need to be revisited.
