based on the weather forcast of heavy northeast winds and rain this weekend, it looks I'll need to re-read that article by Steve M. that was in OTW last month about fishing Noreasters!

this may be the last hurrah for us North shore guys... what do you guys think?

forecasts i've seen have been for SE winds gradually shifting to WSW over the weekend (with high winds during the day on Saturday). Just about the last hurrah on the north shore anyway, schoolies still around but its time to drive for decent shots at larger fish.

this is what I was talking about:
