Gonna check all the weather and sea conditions I can find for that area first thing in the morning, before work. I'll also have to wait until noon to see what the decision is. I want to go since we are going to be 3 days past the new moon and I am hoping the squid will be in a good mood.
Either way I will have all my stuff with me and ready to go so hopefully I'll see a bunch of you tomorrow might.

Looking better!! keep your fingers crossed I just called the FF fleet and they said all systems go for tonite - I'm hoping conditions will continue to improve and we'll have a really good night squidding.

Last nights squid trip did well even with the rain and the wind. High hook was around 100 squid. The beach is alive. There are even some small bass around. With any luck we will be squidding right into June. No trips out today. One of the local charter boats did sail and had 7 fluke on the first drift. Then came home because of the weather. We are postponing our first open boat fluke trip until Sunday Morning. Our charters for Saturday are still scheduled to sail as planned. Squid will be sailing Saturday night. The next cod trip will be Monday morning at 7 am.. We have an overnight trip on Wed. to George's Banks.
see you all there!

Hey guys, have a great trip!!! I can't make it this time, but I'll be there getting inked in spirit.
It's killing me to hear they are on the beaches. That is a short run from new london, and with an overnight could get some great fluking in at sunup. Maybe one of these days my boat will be floating......
Don, you didnt miss much. VERY SLOW, I think the enitre boat got about a dozen and a half. My brother and I only managed 1 each. For me it was a complete waste of time and money.
