It was huge over here too - Ruggles Avenue and Tuckerman's Reef were a solid 8' with offshores and the outer reef at Ruggles was probably 10-12. That place has almost no limit on the size of swell it can handle.
Kevin from Edwards told me he went out for blackfish yesterday morning and it was 12-15' out on Haycock Ledge
That's a little too lumpy for me and where I draw the line.
The swell hadn't diminished very much as of last night either - full of silt, seaweed and that #$##*&# fine mung  - couldn't fish the spots I'd planned so I just packed it in.
Gonna go check them again in a little while for a short session maybe before work - the end here in Newport is near - gonna have to start that trek across the bridge after this one passes, I'm afraid.
Time to pack up the fish-wagon

Blow'n like snot here too. Put a extra line or two on the boat this afternoon. Any chance we get a couple more "bluebird" boating days in before winter? I only want to get out 2 or 3 more times before I call it a year... One chumming trip to empty the bait freezer and 2 more toggin days...that is all I ask.

Nice shots Don. I was out there last night, the water was up there, for sure. A couple of bass, before the bottom.
