"Don't hold onto me while you're being swept away! ... You idiot!"

Wednesday, September 30, 2015: Well, the stinkin’ waiting begins. Storm-watches nowadays are insanely drawn-out affairs. It’s the speed of a lunar eclipse times days on end. Hell, the arrival of the storm is damn near…

"High fructose corn syrup ... are you kidding me!?" 

Sunday, September 27, 2015: I even hear non wind people bitchin’ about the nonstop northeasterlies. Those are folks who usually leave such insider lives that wind is nothing more than something they feel twixt car and doorway – or when the wind is coming to terms with window…

"Quick ... I dare you to climb in that hole ... dumb ass."   

Saturday, September 26, 2015: I don’t whiny and mumbly very often but this stint of northest windage has me that way … times seven … which is how many days we’ve been feeling this new non-tradewind. Even though SCAs are forecast…

"Let's Party!!!"

Thursday, September 24, 2015: Ocean water remain in low 70s. That’s a downer in its own right. Oh, there is the slight matter of a six- to seven-foot northerly wind swell blasting the beachline. The wind swell is mixing with a ground swell out of the south. That’s right, there some…

Look, MIT, I invented a flamingo ...

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me!!!!"

Sunday, September 20, 2015: The skies they are a-changin’ … a take-off on Bob Dylan’s very first album, which I played until my ears bled.…

I dedicate this day to the unsung heroes who prefer to just walk away, unnamed. 

Below: Way too freaky to ignore ... shake your head hard! Is that you, Bob!!!???? Rasta, mon. …

Friday, September 18, 2015: The perfection continues. The fishing, not so much. I’d love to be loaded with local catches but short of the super-savvy fishing folks who work at another plane of angling, the average Jay is struggling for anything other than stargazers … of which I’ve bested two biggies.

Cool fishing story of the week came at an Alliance for a Living Ocean meeting where Kyle G. told me about a false albie…

I even saw a goodly crew of…

Yet another use for a cat I didn't think of ... 

Sunday, September 13, 2015: Kind of a lost day. Couldn’t get motivated to hit Holgate after seeing west winds, which all too rapidly blow in those wicked greenheads. I’m no wimp but those bitches bite me to the bone – then have me scratching out…

And on weekends she's a cheerleader ...

Wednesday, September 09, 2015: Mullet run is more of a crawl. Per usual, the first schools are jumbos; a dozen fully fill a quart-bag zip-lock. Nonstop river of small spearing, flush against the beachline.…
