Did the weather change? I looked this evening and it says 1-2 feet all of a sudden? Or is my website messing with me?

Fished east end of SGI today. Heavy winds made it tough with the buggy whip. NOAA said 15 to 20 and I think it was at least 20 with gusts. Started laying down about 3. No love for me and the bait anglers didn't fare too well either from what I saw. Very few fish caught with probably 15 to 20 rods in the water.

Your right, noaa seems to always do that on Friday night so I'll change my plans and try to cram the proverbial square peg in a round hole and try to go offshore...it always ends the same. All of the other references are still calling for 15+ knot winds any the c tower forecast on Windfinder was 20+. I'm betting it will be too rough. We will finally have cool enough weather to go shoot a few rounds of skeet. So that's our plan (just got the wife a 28g beretta that weighs 5.5 lbs,, so light it's a little hard to get used to. So she's needs to get it figured out before we start getting info dove).Y'all have at it and make sure to post up reports. Good luck,, be safe :thumbup: :beer:
