I have a bad feeling about this one.

I have a cousin named Donna (that one hit RI in 1960).

I had a cousin named Carol (1954).

I have a sister named Gloria (hit LI in 1985, after I moved here).

My aunt Irene passed away last year.

I don't have any relative named Bob, but that one skirted LI and walloped you guys up in NE.

Any hurricane that's hit where I lived head-on has been named for one of my relatives

Donna was the first Hurricane I remember. I hope Irene comes in as a tropical storm, that it does no damage, kicks up the surf and puts about 2 inches of rain on my house. My lawn is dead and the trees and bushes are starting to looked sick.

Spence; surf is building.. nice surge last night...

All depends on the Bermuda high; if it shifts in and blocks us no dice; if it doesnt watch out...

Having some percentage of resposnibility for 4 boats from 13-60ft I hope she misses us...

At what point does the fishing take off with the appraoching storm?? Before the surf gets huge or as it gets really close and the winds kick up?? Any favorite lures to throw in a big swell?

[Rockport24]

I am wondering the same thing chef. doesn't the weed and crap get all kicked up in high surf making fishing impossible? last fall I tried to fish some high surf and I got 50 pounds of weed!

Big Surf-bottle plugs, darters ( darters are my favorite)

When I say before a storm I mean now, there is already building surf! last night there was a good swell on, there comes a point when the surf gets to dirty and to dangerous to fish right along with getting dirty, I would say the next few days should be good.....
