It laid down this AM real good, but the fish weren't there... Perfect spook weather, managed one small but very fat keeper, but other than that it was a desert.

Should be manageable tonight, pretty much staying out of the west at ~ 10 kt... If the weatherman is telling the truth...

Ummmm, maybe good up on the "other cape" but weather for Westport Point, Today WSW wind 20 to 30 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH-----Tonite wind W 10-20 MPH---ALL IN MILES PER HOUR, not KNOTS-----and I usually find I need to expect at least 5MPH additional to what they say once actually at the water........SMOKIN'==Almost tropical storm strength====and the surf last nite was already MONSTOUROUS, only gonna get worse.
Sat nite- NW wind 12 MPH with a low of 43....Brrrrrrrrr.

I was actually looking at the Newport forecast... Guess I looked at the wrong one though, W 10-15, gusts to 20 tonight... Yuck

Might be busting out the 7 mil and the warm thermos for Saturday

Mike try fishing with a reel that doesn't scare the fish and everything within a mile radius. That might help a bit.

I do a lot of freshwater fishing and it has been bad for that too.
I remember a lot of days this summer getting blown around.
Wind would usaully die out around 4-5 pm in the past, but this year it was just windy all the time it seems....
Almost got blown off the lake today. Went out for some trout andn it was brutal. Tomorrow looks windy too.

Coming back in from Scorton on Thursday, I marked clouds of bait from the first green all the way up to the basin - and some fat marks down deep too. I couldn't get out at all friday - good tides this week end though. See you down there....

Was able to get 20+ macks this morning. But the wind kept building....Boat was drifting +2 knots, in the harbor... Hoping to use them on outgoing tomorrow afternoon, if the wind dies just a little bit. I have 17-22 steady at the house, with gusts to 32. Sucks. Beach tonight with wind mostly behind us.
