Horn or Ship - Sunday 6/3

Anyone heading out for a day at the islands on Sunday? Forecast says 1-3, but I don't trust that, especially with that tropical system in the Gulf. I think I may go anyway.

Just checked the buoy south of Biloxi. Calling it 4' with a 7 second period right now. Sounds like it's mainly swells, even though it's a little breezy just north of Gulfport.
I'm going tomorrow, either to fish the marsh, which I heard looks like chocolate milk, or try to find something to get into around Ship Island.
I'll be in a 23' Seaswirl with a black T-top and will be on channel 68.

We are going to try and fish for a little while but will end up at Horn Island sometime around 1300 to 1500 depending on fish count, if any....

Got to Gulfport Harbor and put in around 0550 this morning. Sat and waited and waited and waited for my 3 "friends" to show up until about 0620 and said the hell with it. Wasted a grand total of about 12 hours of my time this weekend driving down and back, prepping the boat, fixing a fuel problem, etc. All is not lost as I can now put these 3 on the "only call if I'm desperate" list.
For now on, I'm only planning on taking my family, business customers, and THTers.

Had a slow start this morning...decided not to go to the islands, instead launched the Waverunner at Delisle and cruised out to Taylor Reef then hung out for a while on the beach in BSL. Was very rough and windy so i'm kinda glad I didn't load up to go out front, as I would have had a boat load of complaining relatives. I'm really impressed with this waverunner. It has awesome range, gets 7+ mpg, and handles the rough stuff great. I even have rod holders rigged on the back. Cant wait to get this thing out to Cat Island. The idiots out there are really giving them a bad rap. While out I saw three kids on one ski fooling around in the Bay, turned so hard all three went flying off.

Hey Gordon,

I fished from the bank today and was darn glad i wasn't out there!
You may have been lucky also (still frustrating when people don't post).

Yeah, that was quite a rough ride. Didn't get much fishing in, but still hung out at Horn Island for some time. The wind was a little aggrivating to say the least. Hopefully the weather will give us a break soon.... Looking forward to another trip to Ram Powell.....
