23 degrees with a 20-30 mph wind this morning. Damn, thats cold for Mobile AL!! That may be normal for some of yall up north but its a once or twice a winter temp for us. Last season we never got below 30.
Crazily, we tried to go duck hunting, agreed to meet up at the ramp at 6:30 and assess things. Glad we did. The north wind over-powered what should have been a reasonably "high" low tide. There was not enough water left in the upper bay to hunt any of our spots. Places that should have had 2' of water were dry. Since low tied was at 6:30am, we greed to meet back up at noon to see how much water comes back and also to let it warm up a little. MIght get to hunt today, might not.
Winds should lay down today & tonight, forecast low is 21 tonight. Water will also come back as it slowly calms down. I'm planning on going in the morning too. Gotta find my "real" gloves!
