You don't get the full picture.... it's not a little rain or a little wind.. it's enourmous tides that you obviously have no clue about.. .. it's about logs.. broken docks... trees,mud,weed and marsh thatch making fishing a river a hazzard to navagate and a waste of time to fish.. as they have cleared out until the water clears up.. it's about 15' waves making one of the most dangerous inlets on the east coast inpassable.. ..so before you put up a "for Chris sake it's new england " post.. just think for a minute that not EVERYONE lives somewhre where they can fish in any kind of weather...most of us would if we could...we're not complaining.. we are stating fact!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I tried to fish tonight, but there is still WAAAYYYY too much crap in the water. ...and I'm not talking weeds.
I called it quits early after I "bumped" my third telephone pole sized log. If my hull was fiberglass, I never would have tried to fish tonight.

Here is just a small taste of what is lurking around in the dark in the Merrrimuck right now...

Sorry Joe. Thoughtless of me. We don't have those kinds of issues in Narr Bay. I apologize

No boat, back in the suds.

Ya, I have my nephew keeping a lookout when we run but you are right, especially in the coves and upper Bay. Lots of trees, logs, boards and assorted junk. One time Joe and I almost ran into a 3/4 sunk 8' pram after a big tide.
