    I ended up getting in and catching a few shore pounders near a jetty in grandview. Maybe chest high, make the drop straighten out, bail into knee deep water. Pretty fun but after a couple I stopped to help some folks build a wall of sandbags. It wasn't epic but was pretty cool. It was interesting. Sorry, no pics. It was raining horizontally so no camera action. Definitely a cool part of hampton, I didnt know such a thing existed.
