The forecast is for the wind and waves to increase to 10-15kt and 3-4. If that forecast is right or worse, would you want to be 30 miles offshore in an 18ft boat.
I have been out when that buoy said it was 2 foot 8 sec. But the ocean was NASTY. It does not do a good reflecting a sloppy ocean

Everybody needs to realize the forecast is just that - No guarantee! Betcha everybody on this forum has gone out on that 2' forecast only to have their azz handed to them! This is the one thing I hate about offshore fishing! Right prediction = safety =fun! On another note he is only 10 miles off with a light wind! It will pickup! Good job on making it out!

We went today, it was calm enough to take a small center console to G-town hole. We were on a big sporty, and it slicked out as the day went on.

you could say that again! my heart said try it but my brain said 4-5? naaaahhhh a chance in h3ll! no worries though. ill be out there soon enough. it just sucks when you take tests early for school then take the day off for no reason. waste gas from aiken to edisto. have no money really to begin with since school eats most of it. but as lynn suggested, im still here to type this!

| weather man said 2-3 today... turned out 2 + 3 + 2. rode out at 26 knots, but once the baits hit the water it was too rough to keep a constant trolling speed. i was in a trough and couldn't see over the top of the next wave, called it quits and headed in. took about 4.5 hours starting at 8 knots straight into it, and i KNOW there was at least a few 7' ers out there. that poor boat seemed like it stood straight up but the bow never stuffed on the way down. wish i could have gone friday! will be out again when the forecast is 1-2' haha |
