This sounds like a great trip! I loved reading this post! I'm sorry to hear some of you can't make it and I know how dissappointed must be. I would love to go with you guys but I can't commit right now but keep me in mind!
David good luck with nursing school. I'm a nurse myself and it's a great proffesion to be in.

Hopefully the worst would be that we loose that extra half day of fishing and we set sail on Friday rather than Thursday. I will still go catch some bait.

Nelson, I will be available tomorrow morning if you are up for it. I can fish sunrise till 8:30am. And i told Rob not to Jinx it, LOL

[cudaman]

No problem I'll hit that place both days in the morning.

[cudaman]

so unless forecasts are totally fuc**d up we should be able to stick to our plans

Aren't they always? Look at this other forecast from UndergroundW, LOL

Thursday
North to northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Nearshore waters choppy. Isolated showers.
Friday
North to northeast winds near 15 knots. Seas around 2 feet. Nearshore waters a moderate chop. Isolated showers.

[cudaman]

Yeah, inside the reef is mostly calm no matter what, but we want out of there, LOL....Will keep on watching the forecast anyways. I like the torture. Since Saturday it's showing that the wind would subside, but maybe different. I hope we are able to fish even with 7 foot seas, just more Dramamine and

I think we do have a chum master on board.

[fishnfool73]

Good luck but I highly doubt he will sail with 7 ft seas in the forecast. You will get killed crossing Rebecca. Forecast may get a lot better though once this front decides to move out and take this depression with it.

[cudaman]

Thanks man. I sure hope the forecast gets a lot better. My worry is that the front is too weak to push that Low system downwards or at least towards the East and out of our way. But we got to hope for the best. Too many dang trips have been canceled already. I heard even Yankee Capts canceled for this coming week. I wonder if it was just because they didn't have enough people, but doubt it since they had 18 and 15 is the minimum, but they rise the price up a bit I think.

[cudaman]

That's the spirit

[WhoDey]

Yuri cancelled my last trip and the storm was 1000 miles away and the seas were forecast to be 1-2' in the tugas, not to mention the storm completely fell apart 1 hour after he cancelled the trip..... 7' seas in the forecast zone where he fishes? Hope there is some good football on this weekend!

[cudaman]

ROB THE JINXER!!! J/K LOL

Be positive, LOL....I will watch the Dolphins in the Keys when I get back, They play at 1 pm.

Well it is what it is but is looking good for Friday even 20 miles out is supposed to subside.


STRAITS OF FLORIDA FROM HALFMOON SHOAL TO 20 NM WEST OF DRY

I heard even Yankee Capts canceled for this coming week. I wonder if it was just because they didn't have enough people, but doubt it since they had 18 and 15 is the minimum, but they rise the price up a bit I think.

It was a private charter with 20 guests. With gale warnings posted for the eastern gulf and 50/50 chance of the Yucatan low becoming a named storm I did not want to chance it.

We go when have enough to cover expenses and the weather is good. We have gone with as little as 7. We do not raise prices.

Thanks

Greg

[cudaman]

Thanks Greg and that is cool that you do not adjust the price if less people are going fishing

[cudaman]

Ok so the trip on The Yankee Capts that got cancelled is the Ironman? The trip for this Friday still on?

[cudaman]

If they go out and have room in the Yankee Capts I sure would. I would jump in a heartbeat!!! They only show 18 on that list but you never know how many just show up like we would. We definitely have to get more bait.

The weekend? Too early to tell. Depends how fast the front pulls through and the pressure regulates itself.

In the last two weeks we have lost a 4 day and a 3 day. Did not expect that this time of year. I have enjoyed the time home though but am ready to get back to work.

Greg

[cudaman]

Thanks Captain...Hoping for better weather the rest of the season.

[crashmister]

Herb, did you see the pic's from a week ago last Sunday at Anglen's?

[cudaman]

Thanks for getting my hopes up Pat!!! LOL, Just hoping it will continue to decrease. Went to Key Biscayne today and got some baits. Raining cats and dogs but it was good fishing. We now have some lemons, we just need a ride to go make our lemonade, LOL

[Chevy Juan]

I think yuri will be a go for sure, im thinking things will start to calm soon and the fishing will be fire so no worries, so sit back and relax dont stress it because you cant control the weather fellas.

Herb, how was the bait situation out at key biscayne.

[cudaman]

Plenty of white baits (before sunrise and after), some blue runners, and many small macks showed up after 8am at Key Biscayne.

[cudaman]

Looking good! Looking good!
