Waties Island lies near Dunn Sound, part of Cherry Grove. Isolated and peaceful, it serves as a perfect refuge for wildlife such as birds and mammals. Local fishermen know of its potential for finding solitude and successful fishing opportunities. Sea turtles know it as a great place to build nests. Coastal Carolina University students hear of as one of their main research centers. It is truly a diamond in the rough growth of civilization.

This is a photo of the 11:43 AM low tide last week at the Cherry Grove Pier as a wave makes its way back into shore. The moonrise occurred at 2:50 PM, pulling at the tidal waters like a magnet.

Tides affect fishing activity, too, with more action by the fish because of light changes and the feeding opportunities.

The Seacoast Anglers Association of Little River, SC, supports a February march on Washington (2.24.2010). Organized by the Ocean Isle Fishing Center, the intent is to protest east coast fishing closures, especially future southeastern closures. The groups hope many recreational fishermen will join (Chris Carbone (843.756.6464) or Mark Bender (843.283.9840)). The round trip will include 14-hours to Washington, 3 hours there for the march, then the return, the same day.
