Better than Shopping at the Outlets



Spent Saturday on the beach with a new friend while our significant others hit the outlets.  Started our day at Bill's Sport Shop to pick up some fresh bunker and bloodworms, then took the Frontier out for its first spin on the sand.  The truck handled like a dream and will be making many more voyages.  The weather sucked.  There was an east wind off the ocean and fog was limiting visibility to less than a quarter mile.  However, it was definitely better than shopping.  We soaked bait for about 4 hours and caught the skunk.  It was early in the season, and most of the stripers are still far enough off the beach to be out of casting range, unless you can cast over a mile. 

On the way out, we encountered a traffic jam at an intersection.  After taking a wave while setting the rod in the holder, I was cold and just wanted to get back to the hotel to get a hot shower.  I said to my buddy, these people better not be taking pictures of just deer.  Finally some of the cars moved on and as we came around the corner we were greeted by this sight:

 We both exclaimed at the same time, "It's an albino!"  While it certainly looks all white, there is some brown on the head.  It was a very cool way to wrap up the trip. That night we had an excellent sushi dinner.  If ever in Rehoboth Beach, you can't go wrong with The Cultured Pearl.

  2. East Winds are tough for fishing. Glad the truck handled well.

    1. I'll take the time on the beach whenever I can get. Even if the fishing isn't great.

    1. They are probably the same vehicle underneath, just a little different body style.
