Was up there last night and did not see much going on - except some pretty good lightning. So much lightening that I packed it in and headed home two hours into the dropping tide. Some of the strikes were getting pretty close - would not have wanted to be at the Salisbury campground as it seemed to go right overhead.
Was trying out the new Tica Dolphin rod I got from M&D's a couple weeks ago (8', 3/4 - 3oz) - nice bomber and sluggo rod. Was able to lob out a 2 3/4 pencil popper on it to see how it would do - not too bad, but probably would stick with 2oz and under with the rod.
Tried camping out in a spot on the river, but as the tide turned and started to pick up one group of 5 guys camped out pretty close and then another group of 5 surrounded me and filled in even closer and started fishing bait. Figured I'd end up tangling and moved upriver a bit. Should have tried the beachfront. Lots of change in that area from the winter and the big rainstorm - lots more sand in some areas than I remember.
