Forget the weather man.....Noaa is calling for 2-3 sat but 60+mi is 4-6 ....bouyweather is in the groove at 3-4 chance of T-storms. Earl looks like he will be way south if anything remains after crossing Mexico.
Sheezs I think I am gonna go ahead and pack up for a over nighter and see what happens
I will be around the 100 fath curve with Plugger if you want me.

Money on Fishing

As rough as it has been the last couple of Saturday's, I am putting my money on it being nice this weekend. I am thinking 8-10mph breezes and well spaced 1-2 footers. The fish out deep will be stacked up as they have had a break the last couple of weekends. That's my 2 cents worth.... my fingers are crossed and my breath is held... just gotta get on some fish this weekend!

 

[michaelbaranowski]

I am hoping to go out. I am hoping for nice seas and so good weed lines.

 

[Freshwaterman]

I'm getting bad vibes

I like the positive attitude....lets hope you guys are right. Planning on an all dayer out deep on saturday. My spirit says yes but I'm tasting some iffy seas!

 

[michaelbaranowski]

Not looking good. I just got the afternoon NOAA update. Maybe Sunday.

[michaelbaranowski]

You can have them I am not a big fan of 3-4.

I would like 1' but I would willing to fish in 2-3. I think I might spill my beer in 3-4.

 

[JOKERSWILD]

That is exactly why I got a cat. I hate foamy.....flat beer

 

[BigJake]

Sunday

Our plans right now are to head out Sunday out of Matagorda. Anyone else heading down that way on Sunday?

 

[Kauffballs]

Heading out of POC on Sat. to pound the breaks if the weather holds up.

 

[michaelbaranowski]

I normally don't fish much on Sunday but I think we will try Freeport this week and most liking just troll unless we find a good weedline holding bait.

 

[bigdaddyriverrat]

Any of you guys with big boats need a crew? 3-4's in Baranowski's or Indigo is pushing it some.

 

[Ernest]

I am hoping to run on Sunday if the weather holds. Rocks and wrecks 45 to 55 out of Galveston.

If it blows 12 to 15 Thrus. thru Saturday, Sunday should be sporty. My bet is that the winds are lighter than predicted, and Sunday will be decent.

At this point, I am looking for crew. PM me if anyone is interested. This will be a dawn to dusk kinda deal starting and ending in Bolivar.

 

[michaelbaranowski]

I have to agree my boat isn't a fan of 3-4. She is wishing the forecast is wrong and it will be less than 2 Sunday.

 

[Johnboat]

Got a charity auction trip planned on a Donzi

I pitched-in with a buddy and two other guys and we won a trip at his church's auction, trip donated by another church member. Out of Freeport Sat, on a big Donzi, eat and stay at Donzi owner's beach house Sat Nite. Hope the Buoyweather.com forecast changes.

 

[JOKERSWILD]

MAN... how that forecast changed overnite ....well pack it up and see what it looks like at the end of the jettys.....Maybe I will get lucky again and follow a big battle wagon out watching the spray shoot over the tower
Shoot I didn't know Lit Burt was going out sun, I might have to change plans and go with the man. Blue water over the bow, laying over hot engines Ernest cussing whoooooweeee better get some more beer sit back and troll

 

[bigdaddyriverrat]

Ernest,
What kind of boat? Bolivar is a little bit of a haul, but i might be able to pull something off.

 

[Ernest]

What forecast are you guys looking at? I am reading the NOAA 20 to 60 mile and Flower Gardens forecast from this morning talking 2 to 4 on Sat. and 2 to 3 Sunday. Not that I would go to the Gardens, but I read the forecasts.

Lil Bert is a beat up, old Bertram 28.

Joker - don't jinx me with that hot engine talk. Having done the remove, repair, re-install of one of the trannies on the water immediately before the Port O. event, I was not planning any more major work til winter. Then, major changes hopefully are in store.

 

[Plugger]

Hey Jokers wild this is Plugger if we are going to the 100 fathom curve in 3-4s we better take your boat by boat will not only spill your beer in 3-4s but would get you wet to boot. Call me. Plugger

 

[JOKERSWILD]

I think I am loosing my mind

wasn't there a 5 ft for Sat morning on bouyweather yesterday....now at 4ft...I am certainally not one to complain
Hope Ernest is right about the wind not blowing as hard

Plugger ...if you want we can take the cat ....But you will have to drive the 4 hrs out there I just want to fish for a change.
