Spotting the fish in the waves

Look closely at the photo. Toward the right in the wave are dozens of fish. I had no idea that you could hunt for fish in the waves.

I only became a fan of the ocean, especially the NC coast, in the last 10 years. Growing up, I spent most vacations in the mountains.

A week ago, a friend showed me how to spot the fish as the waves crested. And not all the waves are laced with fish. Waves have to be either medium or large in size.

It was a very mild day at Oak Island so there were not that many medium waves. I must have snapped 20 photos in order to get just one that captured the fish.

From now on, when I'm at the beach, I'll pay more attention to the waves.
