Wintertime Chesapeake Bay Sunset

We motored under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. We were scoping out the fishing scene, the tide was about slack, and it was about 4:30pm. As I looked around, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful golden glow everywhere. I turned to the southwest to check out the source of the glow. I smiled as I gazed at a typical winter time Chesapeake Bay sunset. Gorgeous. The clear, crisp skies this time of year seem to make the sun blush with a soft warmth that denies any hint of chillness in the air. For a few moments, my face was bathed in the gentle radiance…then within minutes, replaced by abrupt, harsh darkness.

Wow, I’m so lucky to live and fish in such a beautiful part of the world.
