Big waves were pounding the oceanfront today. I assume they were coming from a hurricane that was far out in the ocean. The effects, however, were evident close to shore. There was a lot of sand in the water and weed. Along sandy shores the water looked like coffee. In addition, most places along the oceanfront were unfishable and dangerous due to 6-8 foot waves hitting the shoreline.
I scanned a lot of areas way out looking with my binoculars for any signs of fish. I saw no birds, no breaking fish and very few boats fishing protected areas. I did find a safe spot I could try but came up with nothing. So, I'm hoping this is just a bump in the road, and the fishing will return to what it was just a few days ago once the ocean calms down. We'll see. Meanwhile, I think it will take at least two or three days for all the roughness to subside and the water to clear up.
