OFFSHORE 10/1 & 10/2 - Who's going?

[Tom Kidwell]

With the WX forecast looking better & better I can't resist getting back out there. Who else is going? We'll be departing from Taylors at 5:00 on Sat. and Sun. & heading to the east of Norfolk Canyon. "Tribute" Ch 16/72.[smile]

[DC Ben]

Me. I'll be listening :)

WERE LEAVING OV FISHING CENTER @ 4AM ON SAT. SAME AREA UNLESS, WE GET GOOD REPORTS FROM THE SOUTH. CALVIN

[Carson MAC]

Definetly going Saturday if the weather holds. OI or Rudee, no firm call made as of yet.

Carson Mac

[JFletcher]

I will pick the best wx out of Sat or Sun.

[Healthy Grin]

We will be out there. Leave Saturday morning, come back sometime Sunday. Probably will spend the night in the canyon. The only problem is that I am entered into our club's spot tournament on Saturday. Any spot in the canyon?

[Persistence2]

Ken, if you go Spot fishing this Saturday I will lose all hope...

I got stuck fishing for SPOT and Croaker for the CCA tourney and I was some kind of miserable...NEVER again (except maybe for my kids when they get older).

[Ben S]

Planning to fish out of the Salt Ponds on Saturday with a friend from work on his boat.

[Hroonk]

Sorry to highjack the thread, but I got the itch bad....anyone need a Ho out of OC for Sat?

[BUDDYP]

Will be going saturday if it lays down enough, looks like it will. Don't know if it will be Cigar or Canyon. Buddy

[Screamin Sunbird]

The weather doesn't look that good but good luck to you guys and I hope they miss the weather for the better.

Mike

[Water_boy]

I'll be in the Canyons Saturday night, wx willing. Leaving from Southern NJ so looking at the Baltimore or Wilmington. Inshore reports look like they've been good but I'm thinking we'll get a better grade out in the deep, any thoughts?

[ocnslr]

Cathy and I are fishing on the RUN-OFF out of MHC on Saturday (it's her birthday), and the target is WAHOO... [smile]

Brian

[Teasers]

We'll be out there Saturday. Heading for the canyon unless a better report comes in. Leaving OV fishing center 0430. Finally got my turbocharger problem fixed. [smile]

[Jim Crist]

Oh yeah, with the wx forecast the way it looks it should be nice. I'm still with you Conner give me a call and lets determine where we're going out of. "Outnumbered" Ch 16/72

[Pat N Mike]

Sorry guys, I was planning to go on Sunday and Mother Nature found out..... You can blame me !

Offshore Forecast as of Wednesday afternoon:
<b>SAT THROUGH MON
NE WINDS 15 TO 20 KT. SEAS 4 TO 7
FT...HIGHEST S.</b>

Inshore doesn't look bad, but 15 - 20 is too much for me if it holds. Frickin' Figures !!!!

[Tom Kidwell]

Patrick: As much as I hate to throw in the towel, I'm prone to agree with you. I'll just keep an eye (big eye of course) on the WX and be poised to go whenever it settles. [sad]

[JFletcher]

Its not 3rd and long yet. But it is 2nd and 20.

[JFletcher]

[Tom Kidwell]

[excited] With the forecast looking good for Sunday, we're back on! We'll be leaving Taylors between 4:30 - 5:00 - hope to see ya ought there!

[Billntime]

why does any bother looking at the weather forecast at the beginning of the week. Its either going to change for the better or worse......Looks like a go now!

[mrdabbs]

I will most likely be headin out Sat heading E of the CL looking for weeds and dolphin. Leaving Taylors around 530-6'ish.

[bbogue]

I've been watching the wx forecast all week. Not for me. Thanks to Harpoon for this link.

By the way, the link is to a "virtual" buoy about 12 miles out. VERY lumpy Sat and Sunday. Best of luck to those who try it.

[HARPOON]

I'm with you Bill. Relax to fish another day. Harpoon

[DC Ben]

Was sunny and perfect with 2-3'ers on Saturday, a bit breezier Sunday but still doable with 3-4s.

'course I didn't manage many fish, but another confirmation of "watch weather forecasters for their maps and amusement, but make your decision facing the inlet".
