4th Day in Avon, NC- Outer Banks

Our 4th day on the beach in Avon, NC. Seas really rough today. Skies partly to mostly cloudy with periods of hazy sun (very hazy). Avon Pier fishing pompano, sheephead, drum and spot. Doug was catching small sheephead (1-2 lbs) and giving them away.

We took a break at one point to dig for sand fleas down on the beach. I'd never done that before. We got soaked in the water on that.

Everyday is different for the fishing on the pier. Yesterday was solid bluefish all day long--dozens pulled up onto the pier one after the other. Rough, clear water.

I flew one of my stunt kites on the beach this afternoon--excellent day for that!

Good groceries: Village Grocery and Food Lion.
Dirty Dick's Crab House is just out front on Route 12-- excellent creole shrimp and grits, great hush puppies with corn.
