Designated  currently as 94L, this feature is drifting west-northwest at 15 kts. 94L is in an environment conducive for intensification and will become at least a tropical depression in the next 24-36 hours, that is if [...]

Tropical Storm Danny

This is not your typical tropical storm. Danny is a mess. This storm is a blob of displaced convection with an asymmetric surface circulation. The convection has grown northwards overnight suggesting a course of 315 at 10 kts. Really have a difficult time looking at the image below and believing Danny [...]

Tropical update for 8/26/09

92L continues to drift west-northwest at 18-20 kts. Convection is more compact and more centralized  than yesterday as this feature passes 325 miles north of Puerto Rico.  QuikScat satellite images consistently have shown 35-40 kt winds under the blob of convection; but, more importantly those images have shown no closed [...]

Tropical Update for 8/25/09

A large blob of convection 380 miles northeast of Puerto Rico has a decent shot at developing into the next tropical or sub-tropical system. Neither satellite QuikScat surface wind imagery  nor  ship observations show any cyclonic surface circulation. There is very good upper level divergence that seems to be the [...]

Tropical Update for August 24th

Hurricane Bill has undergone the transition to an extratropical low as it zips over cold waters past Newfoundland (warm core to cold core happy dance.). Pending the suspension of the immutable laws of physics, Bill is no longer a threat.
A large wave roughly 500 miles east of the Windward Island has [...]

Fishing with Dad

Thanks to Keith of Tallahasse for sharing this picture of a recent catch of  Florida Snapper and Grouper. Even better than the fishing was the fact that he gets to fish with his Dad, Hayward Albritton who is 91 years old.
Keith, Thanks for buying your Snapper Rigs from our on-line store and we wish you guys continued sucess with those [...]

Hurricane Bill Update

Sorry storm tracker 2000 super-dooper Doppler TV guys, Bill continues to behave.  875 miles southeast of the coast, Hurricane is slapping fish silly with 105 kt winds and gusts to 130 kts. Bill is plodding along on course 315 at 15 knots, or 46,370.97 furlongs per fortnight. Bill is firmly embedded [...]

First Redfish OTF

To the guys at the Charleston Angler-

pattern suggestions and general advice that yall gave me when I
visited the store. Flyfishing has been a passion of mine for quite
some time, but my experience has all been in fresh water. Thanks to
the helpful hints [...]
