warm water and whale watching

means hot king mackerel fishing which was the case this past week.   72 at the inlet and the kings were there also, really, really good a little further off the beach.   Grey trout trying to stay cool in the deep holes on the back side and a pretty good scattering of albies along the beach.

Got to give credit to Capt. Brian Horsley of Flat Out charters for this shot of a humpback feeding on menhaden along Shackelford.
