Pier Fishing for Whiting and Another Amazing Sunset
What a beautiful sunset for the second day in a row here in southeastern North Carolina! Tonight, we headed for the Oak Island Pier which sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Matthew (see the pier collapse video below).
There were several fisherman out at the end of the pier (i.e. the new shorter, post-Matthew end) catching a steady stream of whiting. The fish weren't all that big, but one of the fisherman claimed that whiting were good eats.
Why is it so hard to remember that whenever you decide to bail on a sunset, you should really just stay another 5 or 10 minutes? I know that @runrudy has mastered this lesson!
After my wife and I paid a buck each to walk out onto the pier, this evening's sunset seemed like it would dissappoint after the incredible spectacle we witnessed last night in Southport, NC. There were some nice pastel colors, but nothing to take your breath away.
It wasn't until we were back at the car that we looked up to see a cotton candy wonderland in the sky. We quickly walked back to the beach beneath the pier to capture some of the awesomeness.

Wow
These are some gorgeous photos! Resteemimg this one!
Thanks for resteeming this, I missed it in my feed the first time!
Thanks for the resteem @daveks, yeah we were fortunate to witness some stellar sunrise/sunset action this week in NC. But alas, headed home.
I just have to feature this in my "Today in the Spotlight" segment! This post is definitely worth more then 1c and I think you should resubmit it next week!
In fact I'm working on doing a blog on this week's undervalued posts!
Can't ever get enough of those sunsets.
So true @countrygirl.
Couldn't find the pics right now, but I've caught those fish in the gulf before!!!
Thanks for bringing back the memories!
My pleasure @papa-pepper!
Beautiful sunset too!
Thanks!
Thank you!
(and you're welcome, of course)

Gorgeous photos of the sky from the pier @cognoscere
I have to give an apology, I had stopped looking at a lot of the photos on Steemit because so many people were only posting the pic and nothing else. I enjoyed your photo journal and so relieved to have a reason to start looking at the tag again. Thank you.
