Hungry Sandpiper!


---Click picture to enlarge it ---
It is a very nice day on the beach today. There is a light wind from the west and the water is clean. Unlike much of November, there is no evidence of seaweed. I saw a couple of people fishing. The one with whom I talked had caught one whiting and a nice blue fish. Overall, he said that fishing was slow. Although the ocean is very fishable today, I doubt if it will prompt much in the way of pompano activity because of the westerly wind.

I saw this sandpiper scouring the beach for his dinner. Often I see birds digging in sand flea pods for their meal. There was, however, no evidence of sand fleas today. Perhaps the warmer weather will prompt them to come out.

Siggy, Thanks so much for the blog. It makes it easier to decide to go fishing or not without driving. I went today. The tide was low, but the bluefish bit nonstop. I caught over a dozen, but did not catch the monster I seek to smoke. I like the west wind and sun to my back. It was a great day surf fishing.
