Fishing This Weekend - Rough Seas High Winds

Looks like this weekend is going to be bad, high winds and rough seas based upon the LIS Marine Report. Was just wondering if everyone was seeing the same weather report and going to stay in.

That's the forecast, but I would still like to get out Blackfishing Saturday if it is feasible and safe in my boat. I have spots that are fishable in just about any weather below a hurricane. It would be my Dad's last trip before he leaves our cottages and heads back to NY for the winter. I signed up for the Sunday PIKETOBERFEST, so I can't take him Blackfishing on Sunday.

Good for you Don. Look forward to seeing your report to see how it was.

Not so bad. I would go for my Dad. But his back may have him bow out. We'll see what he wants to do.

"Saturday W winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 30 kt...increasing to 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 4 ft...building to 4 to 6 ft in the afternoon. Areas of fog in the morning. Showers likely...mainly in the morning with vsby 1 to 3 nm."

Yeah...he just bowed out. Oh well. Fish with him next season.

That's too bad. Freaking fall, great fishing and I love it but you never know what you are going to get weather wise.
