Don't think it will build into the first hurricane, but it will still give some fun waves for ri on tues/weds. Anyone else surf on this site? What about fishing how does a tropical storm effect the fish?

CNN was saying it may develope. some of the best fishing i experienced last fall was around the hurricanes.

Looking forward to some waves this week as well as I haven't gotten much surfing in this summer. I've never had much luck fishing heavy surf but I'm sure the more experienced guys will have $.02 to share....

There goes my shot for tuna this week:af:

On the bright side...it might push them closer to the shore for an easy shot NEXT week:humpty:

Im going to Myrtle Beach in a few weeks... I love being down there during big storms.. Not hurricane quality mind you (my in laws live across the street from the beach) but big old T-Storms etc...

Bring em on!

Surf should be pumping on Wed. & Thursday, may have to get sick and call into work.

ya, surf should be solid.. cant wait to hit it.. projected path looks perfect.. i would love to see it stall right below RI for a few days..

SWEEEEEEET :D :D :D

WOOOOHOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously i don't own a boat :smash:

So crossing the Sound on the ferry from Orient Point Thursday morning could be somewhat of an adventure for my 8 year old? And then by the time I get to the Cape the storm could be pushing large fish toward shore. Oh this is truly a dream come true.

fishins got to get better //always done well //as a hurracaine[??} ended /or the clearing winds right after==============BUT it will blow the @#$%^& bloooooooofish closer////////////;) :rolleyes:

I'm feeling sick...

Sick and stuck on Martha's Vineyard wed/thurs :D

The current wave predictions show it firing in the right direction for my secret spot. :hihi:

yayyyyy!!! BLOOFISH!!!
