Looks like we could be in for some wind/rain if these storms make it up this way as predicted on Fri and Sun...pretty much crapping out the boating weekend.
T storms each day until they arrive also put the kabash on possible offshore trips for me.
At this point Friday morning looks like a possible trip with modest winds and Tstorms predicted for the afternoon.
... Went down to the boat the morning and my hat blew off..it was 20+ easy.
Hopefully, after these major weather events pass the weather and humidty will clear for a few days...

Don't you think the next one should be Clyde?

Oh nice!! As if the weather this summer hasn't sucked already, dont know what is worse the wind or just the cold weather we have had. My wife only likes to go out when she can bare her bikini, thus far this year she has only been on the boat 4 X:( Dam I miss that bikini :D

Sandman -
Pulled an old email from my obrother. This is what it was like fishing during/after a Hurricane. This was during the time of hurricane "Felix." I was not there as I was too busy in high ya know drinkin' and chasing the women -I should of been chasing the fish...:smash: :smash: :smash:
"Biggest blitz I ever saw ,witnessed by Ronnie, Wally, Mark and myself , blitz lasted 3 full days and nights with fish all the way from Coast Guard beach to Marconi, the hurricane brought millions of baby blueback herring into the surf line , bass and blues were 5 feet from shore. First night of the blitz I landed a half dozen 30-35lb stripers with a number of breakoffs , maybe 50 lb stripers or gator blues chopping through my line , was in a pod of big bass ,similar to the pod we found with Chevy that night at Chatham ,except about 10lbs bigger. 4 of these fish were feeding so veraciously , they inhaled my atom plugs so deep down in their gullets , I had to cut my line. We each caught about 300-400 stripers and gator blues a day. To draw a comparison , imagine the blitz that you, me , and Ronnie experienced our last morning at Weepawaug breachway , extending all the way to Watch hill , and lasting 3 days. That about sums up the experience. Dad was so tired he took a rest on the beach as he was sick of cathing fish. The blitz got so crazy when it extended to Race point a few days later after we had to leave , a pod of Pilot whales were crashing into the surf on the beach almost stranding themselves feeding on the massive schools of herring. You measure a good blitz when after a full day you have no tackle left in your bag and your arms literally ache in pain and you snap a rod or 2 in the process ask Ronnie.
I think I'll be on the water this weekend just in case.....

I remember Felix '95. That storm stayed offshore and stalled off the Carolinas. Got a couple days of great surf and beautiful beach weather along the NH coast.
Let's hope Charlie take's a hard right.
Heading to Orleans on Saturday for the first beach vacation in a couple years.
