Jimmy;
check the offshore, small craft for seas 4-6+ this weekend..
It is getting big; fished gansett last night and it is weedy and rolly....
Hurricane type swells; big slow and lotta power...
Was nice water early in the week not it just

Be carefull what you read in those forecats, that offshore storm is producing big swells, it really makes the fishing difficult and stirs up the weed and junk, tommorow night would be a better option than tonight, Styeve and I got to our spot last night and could not fish right, He went home (smart) and I went and try a protected outflow with no luck.

RIJIMMY · 07-29-2005, 08:01 AM

ok, thanks appreciate the heads up
so....big swell, east wind, incoming tide high at 4:30am on Sunday...I know where I am headed!!!

Head down to any of the local tackle shops, they will be able to help. There is a map of certain well known spots in the canal. They will give you a good start.

Read this topic on the Canal. Great post by Mike P.

Thanks folks for the input. Todays forecast for the next day or two seems to have south facing beach's rocking and rolling. I think fishing estuaries or bays seems like the ticket, perhaps the merrimack since I've yet to fish there this year. I'd hate to drive all the way to RI just to have to turn back. I guess I'll wait for a weather update tonight. Happy cow hunting to all.

Southeast facing beaches tonight will be the most dangerous.
Southwest tomorrow during the day.
Sunday looks "ok" currently.

Water was very clear and hardly any weed this morning when i came in at 430, swell subsided big time at high tide. Just had to figure out how to get my eel behind the breaking waves and i did all right. Going out now to town beach to check out the surf, ill snap a few pix if its huge.

this is when hazard ave or beavertail usually swallows some poor soul.
