What's rain?
Something that keeps sane people off the beach!
You know that truly is something I always wondered about. Some years ago wife and I were down in St. Kitts. We were on the beach and a rain storm came up. Nothing horrendous, no lightening. And all of a sudden we found ourselves almost alone. Everyone was scrambling for cover. Thing is the rain was warm.

Is that walking distance from your new home?
5 min golf cart ride.

looking for reds, black drum, bluefish...? inquiring minds etc.
Bull reds…… it's about to get fun. As the ocean cools the bulls ( big females) come from offshore to have hanky panky . They can be caught off the beach easily. Average gals run 30-40" and 25-35#. Circle hooks prevent internal damage and quick release is required. SC REDFISH SLOT 15-23".looking for reds, black drum, bluefish...? inquiring minds etc.
BTW. I'm 6'7" for photo comparison. Lots of pull from these fish.

i've tried for big reds at Hatteras, but bluefish wouldn't leave our baits alone. caught LOTS of fish in 4 to 6 lb range in Calcasieu on artificials. helped a local land a big red at mouth of Calcasieu jetty he caught on half of a blue crab...that old boy had the dullest gaff i've ever seen.

Ever come in close enough to sling a fly at them? I worked on a charter boat in GS years ago but never fished off the beach
Hard finding days with little to no surf with the wind. If I could I would and have. Goal is to punch a big bull red with my 9wt or 11wt
