Given the below weather forcast for this weekend, primarily tomorrow night, what effect is this going to have on the fishing? I remember last year for this thing the surf was big, the wind was howlin, the moon was bright, and I didn't catch jack squat. You couldn't even think about gettin out into some of the rock areas I go to in south county due to the surf. When the weather is predicted like it is below, does it actaully turn out to be remotely close to the forcast? Does the wind from the predicted directions make it impossible to fish with anything but 10 ounce plus? Just tryin to figure out if I its worth it to come down to try and fish off the rocks or stay up here and fish live macks off the boat.
Just lookin for some professional advice from all you Rhody men.
Much appreciated

well, you don't have to worry about the bright moon.:confused:
I got the big skunko last nite-on the bright side, I saved juice in my headlite batteries.
I'd fish it, east winds make some soco spots favorable

There's big fish around. had one on tonite for 45 minutes (Ditch) and smoked my 7500 nautil. Couldn't get it to come up over the lip. :( Only good thing is I have another one.

From a guy that's been doing the live mack thing....LIVELINE THEM MACKS!!! I ended up out on the harbor last night with some macks, and all I can say is "Holy &%$?". Bass to 40 lbs. including one that could not be turned. No dis to the site, but last night was one of the best fishing experiences of my life. Drags were singing the whole time, and it was stupid fishing in a good way. So glad I got on the boat after wavering.
