Capt.

I have an invite for Friday, I have not decided if I'm going to go yet. He is probably going to the Tails or in that area as well.

10-20-2005, 12:07 PM

After hearing the latest weather report for tomorrow, the trip might be called off. Ill know for sure later this afternoon.

what's the latest weather report that has you spooked? everything i've seen has been ok...

Tunadevil · 10-20-2005, 12:21 PM

The reality is it probably won't be pretty, wind is still blowing here. Even if it drops out like they say, it has still been blowing for two weeks. It will definetly be fishable. it's all about how bad do you want it.

Well, its a 48 Viking, and I dont care about the weather as long as its not 6-8's and blowing 35. Anything nicer than that, I have no problem fishing in. All the other guys going, like fishing in the nicest weather possible, so its not my call. I really want to fish.

Tunadevil · 10-20-2005, 12:31 PM

Right now Bouy 54 miles off Nantuket 15 gusting to 20, 6 foot at 6 seconds. Nice and sloppy.

When they planned the trip yesterday, I was told the forcast was Seas 1-3, winds @10 knts. Its obviously changed a lil bit. Im waiting for the phone call, should be soon.

rcatena · 10-20-2005, 12:37 PM

I think tommorow is perfect! I hope your guys dont bail. Id love a report if you wouldnt mind. I fish out of Montauk, but work in NYC. I last had 5 yft at the dip about 2 weeks ago-but been blown out since.

10-20-2005, 12:39 PM

Well Ill deffinitly post a report if I go. I really want to because the weather is deffinitly do-able. We'll see...

Tunadevil · 10-20-2005, 12:40 PM

I have a friend on a 90 foot Dragger, he is supposed to be on or around the East wall of the Hudson. I left a message on his Sat phone. If he calls me back I'll give you the real time report.

Tunadevil · 10-20-2005, 12:48 PM

My friend moved to the south. He said it's blowing about 18 and it is five foot. Heard boats on the side band yesterday one had two yellowfins trolling and the other one was still steaming. All this talk about Tuna fish is making my mind up for me.

10-20-2005, 12:52 PM

Hmm....now I really want to go

rcatena · 10-20-2005, 01:21 PM

Cant catch them on the dock... give it a shot. You can always turn around and catch 40lb bass. Friday is good... its always 10-15. Im jealous. Ill be waving a long rod at a school of 8lb falsies. Catch em up!

10-20-2005, 08:02 PM

Birdman · 10-21-2005, 12:19 PM

I wanted to get out to the dip tomorrow also, looks like that is out. Looks like some morning bass fishig will be the call.

Friend went to the tails yesterday. caught 5 60-80lbs yellows iced down two. Also released one white. weather was not great but the fishing was worth it. I should have gone. Rob
