my wife told me i'm getting bitchy and i should go fish. so i'm gonna give it a go on friday. weather looks good and it's about time to kick off the season. anyone want to bang out and come along?

Does anyone that wants to go also have to be bitchy to qualify?

it's not a prereq

I've been trying to make it happen for a while so I'll check with the boss and see if it works.

I heard it helps catch fish though....of course you pick the week my boss is out of town and I'm in charge. Katie said I definitely qualify to go.

Your boss is always in town, and she knows it

OK, I'm in!

Don't get my boat for at least another 2 weeks...arrrrrgh.

sounds good gents. no reservations needed just be at the boat around 4/4:30. i'll get there early and save some good spots. just touch base w/ me if you are going and i'll save you a spot.

Niko, I was thinking of taking Friday off and doing the same thing...

I've never been on a party boat, so let me ask a basic question for my benefit. What's a "good" spot on the deck?

FYI - Have someone check the water clarity. This past storm really had the ocean riled up. I know this affects the cod bite off shore. Water is very dirty here in Newport but might be clean by Friday.

jim - the bow and stern are the desirable spots.

Today's report (no luck o'the Irish):

March 17th
Capt Don at the helm today with a very small group of anglers. Still quite a bit of a ground swell today from the recent storm and the water was the color of coffee. Not a good day of fishing reports Capt. Don. The codfish just didn't bite, which is not unusual immediately after a big storm. Tomorrow is another day. Capt. Mike at the wheel tomorrow.

slight change in plans. we are going out on the island current. trip leaves at 3 am and tickets need to be purchased in advance. buzz - i can pick you up along the way if you're still up for it
