Nick, GOOGLE "Duck Army Pier"...onthe home page inthe right corner is a data inset with the water temp on the pier recorded...interesting that this morning's temp is 59 versus your info : a full 20 degs warmer. This upwelling of cold water, caused by predominately south west wind is a local phenomenon. Thanks for your response.

 

[NICKNICHOLS]

Yeah, I read their plot and it does in fact show the dip in temperature, I love science, thanks for the education and the new site

Another resource is Jennette's Pier. Their water is 57 right now.

That usually means the water is dirty as well. The Duck pier has always been one of the first things I look at when I am thinking of going to BB. Thier temperature sensor goes down a lot though.

East winds this weekend should improve things.

 

[NICKNICHOLS]

Good-to-go, Thanks.

Probably so. but it's going to take a few more days of that to get things moving.

Not to depress our readers, but temperature this morning at Duck is 59*.And 90%rain with wind Saturday... yikes!

 

[Islander80]

For what it's worth I have noticed that no matter the wind direction once you get a week or so into September the water always seems to be clear and warm. I don't know why but I have been down there mid September with a West wind and the water was almost tropical and crystal clear.

Good old BBNWR showed her bad side today:water looked real drummy but that was just to taunt me. I could not hold with 10oz storm sinkers or grip leads (sputnicks)...and me with 5 dozen just caught mullets!!! Ended up at Lynnhaven with 5 pups...oh ,well!

Any size to the pups? I caught two today back by pleasure house, both were around 14in. At least they were bigger than the ones I got a week or so ago (around 10in). I was thinking of trying BBNWR tomorrow morning with mullet I caught today, but my heaviest rod only throws 6oz.

I out to have packed my old style heavers.

once the weather settles down and the wind continues from the ne we might start catching drum early, everything else been early might as well drum too i wont complain
