SATURDAY
NORTHEAST WIND 15 TO 20 KNOTS...INCREASING TO 20 TO 25
KNOTS IN THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET. PROTECTED
WATERS CHOPPY...INCREASING TO ROUGH. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.

Guess I'll stay away from the Gulf and take my daddy and my sons to the Withlacooche River and get some Redbellies tommorow instead.

Thats not to bad, an offshore trip looks do-able, but ahh i can't make it...

I wouldn't do it unless you like it rough. We went out Lanark yesterday and got pounded all day long. Forecast called for SEAS 1 FT. OR LESS, WIND 5 KTS. We fought 3-4 ft. seas w/ 5-6 ft. swells with an occassional 7

Wind was continual at 10-15 kts. all day long. So, if NOAA predicted that for yesterday, I don't want to even think about tomorrow's prediction.

KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 50 KNOTS. SEAS 12 TO 15 FEET...BUILDING TO
14 TO 19 FEET IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. PROTECTED WATERS
EXTREMELY ROUGH. TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT.

Maybe head out on the flats in the Gheenoo
