I am in either weekend

So - are we a go? work has made my participation this week tentative. I have only gotten 5 hours sleep in the last 3 days. I am a little punchy....looks like another all nighter tonight and potentially tomorrow night, which would take me out of the running for a cod trip this weekend. But if all goes well, I will get some sleep tomorrow and get out on the boat Saturday - if it is a go.

Sure seems to have lost a lot of steam.

-IWK

I dont know about the rest of the gang but if Raider Ronnie is going out on Saturday we could make it a two boat run to do some jiggin. Only thing is the weather forecast seems to be erradic all week.

The wind forecast for Friday is excellent <5kt with <1' seas and the weekend sucks. I'm all over it tomorrow....... cough, cough... I feel something comin on.... don't think I can make it to the office:D

Nope not this weekend! Lets all hope for next weekend!!!

I am going to try to get out Wed or Thur?? And if all well we will go as a group next week!!

Boy this weather sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree about the weather s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g. Tomorrow I'm already committed but if not, I'd sure be out there. Saturday sounds terrible to me. I must be getting old. But who knows. It might be good enough for a run around the graves or B bouy?? We'll see.

next weekend is gonna be
 

Beautiful so lets start planning!!

i sure hope that it will stays beautiful next weekend.

This morning was wicked cold and the wind at dawn was >10 WSW here in Plymouth. Once I rounded the Gurnet there was a 6 to 8' swell coming in from the NE but there was plenty of separation so we headed up to High Pines (nada) and then to Farnham Rock (3 dogfish). The swells were starting to steepen and some were rolling in closer to shore so we bagged it and went to Bickfords for a nice hot breakfast. No fish, it was cold but the sunrise was absolutely beautiful and it is always a pleasure to fish with my friend George:D

Mr. Macey my friend. Do you want to meet me at the Back River Waymouth Tomorrow at 8:00 am??? I figure we can take a look and see how it is. let me know, I'll PM you my phone number.

Sunday
 

Canalratt1,Swede and I are going out sunday at 7:30AM

We will have the VHF radio on Scan If anyone goes out give us a call.


Anyone make it out today ??

I was wondering if anyone went out today too??? It seems I'll never get out fishing :( :mad:

I started out this morning with my son after it appeared it was going to be a nice day.
On the ride down to my boat, I made a few calls to some guys to see if they wanted to come with me, but no one availably!
I got to the boat and carried some stuf to the boat and started the enging on the boat to warm up while I carried more stuf down from my truck.
Called Striper1 on the vhf to see how the seas were on the outside, but i couldn't hear his response!
Thats where the nice day ended!!!
My motor started coughing and kept stalling :af:
I checked the water separator and it was FULL of water:af:
I pulled the cowling off the motor to see the gas filter on the enging was FULL also!!! :af:
That was about 9:00am , It took All day to get the problem fixed:af:

I watched the weather forecast closely and didnt go out but I swear if things down the water were like it was at my house they royally screwed the wind forecast up.:( Tomorrow the boat goes in for the new Suzuki 250 and I should have it for midweek so if the weather is nice next weekend I am gonna be out.

Well thats sucks!!! Glad you got it gixed!!

Ya the weather man screwed up with the wind report thats for sure!!!
I was going to get a couple of things done on my boat today also.

But the guy that comes on to releave me at 8am called out sick!! :af:
This ment I had to do a double!! So my normal 8 hour shift that turned to 9 because on Daylight savings now turned into a 17 hour shift!!! :af: And I have to go back at midnight to night!!

But I see a break in the weather for wed thur and maybe friday?? I looked at the wind and so far it looks like crap!

COD
 

I just wanted to say Thanks to Canalratt1 and Swede...

For a good day of old school cod fishing:D

We ended up with 7 for the box up to 10 pounds.

We started at the dumping ground and ended up at the B bouy.

seas where 1-2 feet with a wind of 5 -10 not the 15-20 they where calling for:smash:

There had to be 10 to 20 boats fishing the B bouy.


Ron, I was at the dumping ground when you called I tryed to get back to you maybe we where just out of range..

Ron, sounds like to much water from condensation ??
maybe the gasket on your gas fill ??
or the vent ???

Frank.

Thanks for the report!!! I just wish I lived closer to plymouth and new when the wind was goingto be on the good side!!

can we go on this sunday?:crying:

we will have to wait till the weekend gets closer!! Its only Monday and it may change??

No, thanks to you Striper1! Awesome day out there even got down to our t-shirts! Saw a pilot whale caught a few. Got back to the dock and they didn't even want a fillet! Now my belly is full of fresh caught cod, life is good! :D

I am Jelious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:af: :wall: ooohhhhh

I guess we have waitted and waited and waited for something that is never going to happen!!! :af:

The weather this week end again is going to suck!!!!!!!!!!!!:af:

I am leaving my boat ready for a short time longer, but this is for fall repairs., In the event the moon, sun, wind, and stars aline just right I might get out one more time???


So I officaly close the SB Striped Bass Cod trip!! Sorry guys but we tryed!!


CANCLED TILL 2005

Indian summer is coming watch next weekend 70s-80s you gonna wish you held out happened both years I put the boat up early and wham summer was back!!

Well, you better put up that boat cause I want another indian summer!!!

Remember the thanksgiving snow in 88 or was it 89?

I no I no!! happens everytime!! If I leave it out it will be snowing before you no it! If I put it away then the weather will be great!!

Can't win :smash:

Well it will be uncovered and able to fish till thanksgiving while I do some upgrades, so if I can go when it is nice I will do. But after thanksgiving its all done.

I wish i had a garage to keep it in!!! It would be ready all year round then!!

Maybe a spring trip??

I'm up for a spring trip. My first trip is usually the Winni Spring Derby. I like the idea of being on a lake the first trip out in case I have any mechanical difficulties. Pretty tough to float to England from Lake Winnipesaukee.

Indian summer has nothing to do with getting out this time of year!!!
I go out during the winter,

I'm Definitely headin out Sat. if anybody with a boat is lookin for a rider to help with expenses i'm in.

Otherwise will be heading out on either Eastman's or Yankee Fleet in search of Whale Cod and Haddock. Anybody else interested or already going?

I may try to make it out Saturday :) hopefully, I've been wanting to get out for a couple of months now and it never seems to work. We'll see as the weekend gets near.
