Looks like we topped off at a high temperature of 75F this afternoon. Felt a bit warmer than that. Winds are out of the SW tonight at 15mph. Winds will remain out of the SW for most of tomorrow, picking up speed late in the afternoon. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY in effect from 2pm Tuesday until 2pm Wednesday.
There were a couple of puppy Drum caught down off of ramp 55 in Hatteras today. Other than that, it’s been a quiet day here in the shop.
Some of the offshore boats headed out today and brought back nice Dolphin, some Wahoo and lots of Blackfin Tuna.
Inshore boats did good with Sheepshead.
