Offshore Friday April 6, 2007 (Morehead City, NC) - The Hull Truth

Spring Fever · 04-04-2007, 09:01 PM

The weather's not looking too bad for an offshore trip on Friday 4/6/07 out of Morehead City. Guess I'm officially placing myself on "high alert" for Friday. I'll keep watching the weather closely. Anybody else thinking about heading offshore Friday?

Had plans to chase turkeys but think this cold front will keep them tight lipped...think I'll hook up the boat and head out myself

Looking at it real hard. Kids will be out of school.

Thinking about going out of Masonboro on Friday, not sure of the weather?

Looks pretty sloppy.

I was confused.

Weather did not look good to me; thought I was missing something?

MattH · 04-05-2007, 02:12 PM

Hopefully that front won't come through early, best of luck to everybody. I need to see if I can get the boat running right again. Post some reports and pics please!

DoneDeal · 04-05-2007, 07:18 PM

We are going to give it a shot-we can only fish til noon. Will be heading towards the NE corner unless we come across the break earlier. Hope to leave the ramp around 4 am in Morehead-we caught our yellowfins last week just as the sun was coming up. Will be scanning. Tight lines.

DoneDeal · 04-07-2007, 01:09 PM

Went 0-2, one unknown and lost a nice hoo just out of gaff range before we left at 11:15.

kmac · 04-07-2007, 06:05 PM

looked like it was nasty out. We stayed at home.

Going Deep · 04-08-2007, 01:33 PM

It was......four kingfish released and one tuna lost at the boat. Planer rod accounted for all kings except one. Pretty ride out but the wind kicked up sooner than predicted..... long slow ride in
