Say he didn't go? Called the night before. Then what? The NJ guys are still screwed.
Welcome to New England. It's fishing in the OCEAN.
The North Atlantic......s**t happens.
I check the weather all the time.
If I'm going out or not.
National Weather Service has a marine forecast.
www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine.home.htm
Way too much detail.
Wave height, wave direction, wind speed, wave frequency, air temp, water temp,etc.,etc.
Can't blame the boat if you show up and the weather is bad.
Can't get on the boat and go out and blame them anyway.
Just my 2 cents.
