Looking for 2 on Sat, SUPPOSED to 1 foot so we will see, out of DI leave around 4-5 am return ???? Let me know if you are interested. If it holds true will run long and work our way back in.
Am watching the weather closely . . . said this last weekend was flat and it ended up being rough as a cob . . . am planning on leaving around 9a - 10a Saturday, trying for AJs, then heading for tuna . . . have been told the water is decent . . . I broke my arm four weeks ago so, I can't tolerate anything rough . . . keep your fingers crossed . . .

Will make my decision on Go or No Go at the 11a forecast tomorrow morning . . .
Was like this last weekend and decided not to go at the last minute . . . glad I didn't . . . arm has a week's more healing on it and I've got a pretty decent crew . . . I'll drive and take photos while they fish . . .

Definitely going long (if 96 milessouthis considered long) . . . the guys I'm chartering want togive it a try(son is going to deckhand/crew) . . . with flat seas, no reason not to go as the weather window looksgreat (even with a broken arm, if it isflat as predicted, I shouldn't have a problem - - I guess we'll see, though) . . . will likely end up around Horn Mountain or in that general area . . . I haven't scraped my shafts or props so, let me tell you how excited I am about getting in the water tomorrow morning! Plan on leaving around 10a, before the parade traffic starts jamming things up on the island . . . might try for some grouper or AJs on the way out and maybe eventroll for some Hoo's . . . not going to be in a tremendous hurry, though . . .
Am taking a new digital camera . . . should get some good shots stretching some arms, I hope . . .
Matt.
