You want fun? You should have been with me yesterday in a NE wind at 20 to 25 kt on Narr. Bay trying to liveline pogies on an East facing shore.

Absolutely frigging crazy. Drive the boat with one hand and hold the rod in the other. You get a chase and you let go of the wheel for 5 seconds and you were IN the rocks. 3 ft rollers all morning.

I would KILL for a SW wind. I am so tired of running in a NE and SE wind. Had gloves, insulated bibs and a knitted cap on yesterday. WTF June 16? This is the worst May and June I can remember for weather. It has been decent for fish especially this last week.

No boat, back in the suds.

What? You have a wind gauge on your boat?
You are probably right but it was really snotty fishing in the slop

No, I checked the real-time data in the morning before I left to make sure it was work-able for our survey... 12-14kt at Conimicut and Newport...

Well, then I don't believe that is totally accurate for where I was. I have also looked at the data from that site and hit the water an hour later and found the wind screaming.

Just as the sky starts to clear...It looks to be getting worse.

QUICK!!! CUT YOUR LAWN NOW!!!!


Sun
NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Gusts up to 30 kt... increasing to 40 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 ft. Rain likely.
Sun Night
NE winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 35 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. A chance of showers.
Mon
N winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 40 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Showers likely...mainly in the afternoon.
Mon Night
N winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 35 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Showers likely.
Tue
NE winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt...diminishing to 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Showers likely...then a chance of showers in the late afternoon and overnight.


The other day MV set the state record for coldest day...35 deg. Where is your global warming? A buddy said.."global warming is melting the ice cap and bring colder temps to us"...Huh? Let me get this straight. If it is too cold, its global warming, it if is too hot it is global warming, it if is a draught it is global warming and it there are floods and storms it is global warming. Remember a year or two ago in GA thru NC...all the lakes drying up...no drinking water...national crisis? Well you don't hear much about that anymore. He they said, it is not PC to call it global warming anymore, it is "climate change". To that I said, of course the climate is changing...when did go static? We had ice ages, heat waves, floods all before mankind starting putting CO2 into the air...IMO the planet is still evolving, one day we could all die from some planetary event not caused by mankind...but the dems will blame George Bush anyway.

it sure has.. the river is a ribbon of mud, there are fish, but mostly teens and low twenties... fishing the beach front ( by boat) is hazzardous at best ( if your in close enough for it to be worth it) Monday night, the light easterly kept pushing me into the sand.. if the fish wern't there I'd have gone home.. I'm praying for a sou'wester...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
