I see a weather/wind/tide window coming up the beginning of next week for a trip to the Oregon Inlet area. On Monday I am headed to the Park Service Campground for a 2-night stay. Temps forecast for the low 70’s, light winds, and a wonderful mid-day high tide that should give me a lot of flexibility to make a paddle toward Blossy Creek and the lighthouse.
Make no mistake——I am NOT paddling the inlet!
I will put in at the fishing center across the highway near the giant propeller, and then head north toward the light. Will more than likely spend some time fishing the area behind the Coast Guard Station, and then make my way up around the islands and the marsh. Hoping for trout, reds, and maybe a flounder or two.
Any thoughts??? Suggestions??? I may be wishing for more wind at night, but I am all stocked up on my ThermaCell supplies, and Deep Woods Off, as the ‘skeeters are no doubt already swarming at the campground. I will be tent camping in Loop A...any body in the area feel free to stop by and introduce yourself. White Toyota Highlander with a blue Perception Pilot kayak on a home-brewed trailer. Will hope to have a positive report to post up when I get back.
