Sat. Looks GOOD!


Recommended Posts

I will be at the 4th ANNUAL DCC SHOUTOUT on saturday. How far out you goin'  I see the 85+ degree water line is slowly creeping back in.  The big kings should be pushing in closer. There use to be a downed rig just barely sticking out of the water heading south west towards the claypiles from sabine. I don't know the gps numbers off hand but i've pulled some big ling and a couple 50+ pound kings off of it. One of them jerked a rod right of my buddy's hand. 

  Its about that time of the year to start chasing the blackfins underneath the shrimpers.

  One of my buddy's went out last weekend from GYB, and said the water was still "trout green to the sand" 45 miles out.  This runoff still has stuff messed up as far as clarity.  They caught some nice snaps 20-25", and a limit of ling. Found a weedline 35 miles out holding big schools of ballyhoo and hardtails but no pelagics.  Sounds like a good spot to find a sailfish hanging out if those ballyhoo are still there.  I'd take a cast net or something to try and catch em live, i don't know how effective the sabinki's are on them.  Live ballyhoo freelined 50 miles out........no telling what you will come up with. May catch a STAR tourny winnig fish............Good luck to ya'll.

The pressure gradient across the Upper Texas coastal waters and bays will remain weak resulting in a light onshore flow along with low seas. Mariners are urged to closely monitor possible tropical development across the northern Gulf of Mexico over the next several days.

  yep, that the same system i was talking about. It is right on the edge of the frontal boundry and they worry it might skirt towards us.  Path of least resistance. It had monor rotation last night. I don't think it would be more than a tropical depression but heck we don't even need that right now with the saturation around.

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...

The area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave located

just east of the Windward Islands has become a little better

organized this morning.  An Air Force reconnaissance aircraft is

scheduled to investigate this area this afternoon.  While

environmental conditions do not appear especially favorable for

development...there is still some potential for this system to

become a tropical depression during the next day or two as it moves

westward near 15 to 20 mph.  Regardless of whether development

occurs...this system will likely bring squalls to the Windward

Islands during the next day or so.

The large area of cloudiness between Bermuda and Nova Scotia is

associated with an extratropical low.  Formation into a tropical or

subtropical cyclone is not expected.

A large area of cloudiness and showers has developed over the

northeastern Gulf of Mexico in association with an old frontal

zone.  Some slow development of this system is possible during the

next day or two as it remains nearly stationary. Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the

next 48 hours.

A weak trough of low pressure will bring showers and thunderstorms across the coastal waters today. The trough is expected to push slowly southward Friday with high pressure slowly building across the northern Gulf over the weekend.

funny how we have all this technology and still can-not predict the weather from day to day accurately.  Just goes to show that God is the only one directing the wind and waves.

We'll for one thing the NWS is bad at forecasting, especially marine stuff.

I know I have checked history on a Bouy on Bouyweater where it read 1.5 wave height when I was actually there and it was more a 3' ave. heres todays offshore of Sabine. Nice... Pretty cool to watch wave hts when a hurracane is approaching. http://buoyweather.com/wxnav6.jsp?region=GC&program=nww3BW1&grb=wna&latitude=29.5&longitude=-93.75&zone=-5&units=e

  yep....the last trip i made out of POC going out to the east breaks and falcon buoy weather was showing 2-4ft seas subsiding to 2ft and it was 8ft ground rollers when we got to falcon and didn't do anything but aquire a surface chop.  needless to say we booked it back in at daybreak.  The Pen Internaional never came out of the cover.......

tell me about it.  The same thing has happened to me too.  I'd be out there, getting the snot beat out of me, but the weather bouy was reporting 1 ft. seas every 8 second.  If I could have found it and it wasn't against the law, I woulda destroyed that thing!
