Many of the people who go out on the Helen H drive 200 or 300 miles and will not be happy if you cancel a trip.

We checked on Friday evening. 4:15 p.m. was the go/no-go time per the skipper. He decided to go out, even though we had our misgivings about fishing ahead of a noreaster.
Since we were part of a crew that drove 200 miles to get there, we didn't get a chance to check the weather again online and nobody had a NOAA radio on them.
Trust me, if we showed up at 1 a.m. and the captain cancelled the trip, that would have been fine by us.
