Saturday Weather S U C K S!

[CaptDave]

Sat...NE winds 15 to 20 kt...increasing to 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 35 kt in the afternoon. Seas 4 to 7 ft. A chance of rain

So much for this weekends groundfishing charter. We started the season with crappy weather and now we will end it with the same. At least in the spring they were not calling for snow and possible power outages.

Was going to do a ground fish & tuna troll trip sat also .
Looks like sat morning will be checking over plow trucks and putting the plows on instead.
If this snow storm happens just may be the earliest we've been out in close to 30 years doing it.

Yep, winter storm watch up here, the wood stove is feeling good right now.
