I'm with ya, it seems we can't get away from those friggen things.

[Fishstory]

you get to fish all the time, but its not all the time that you'll be able to surf some of the biggest waves of the year!Bow1 You guys do surf????Smoke1

It will all work out, some of my best fishing in the ocean was in rough seas, the strong winds and waves push the bait closer to shore and the big guys follow them inWink1

[knotreelly]

if the winds from your back you'll have some wicked casts

My wife was asking me If I was gonna bring the board along. At first I said, "no but the more I've thought about in the last couple of hours I think I might". I would rather not have to deal with the wind, possible rain, and quality sea's". I think there predicting 5-7 along Long Island, and it will probably be more like 5-10 ft swell from the south along Marthas Vinyard. But it looks like I'm not gonna be able to avoid it. Swear1

It doesn't look that bad from that weather statement, but there are alot of different weather statements. Sometimes there right on sometimes there way off. I would rather have the one you posted instead of the one I found. I hope yours is right and mine is wrong. According to the last update from the weather channel it gonna hit some cooler water offshore so it will gain any more strength with is a plus.

The site that weather outlook came from is the one that my friend always uses down in westport ma, he's only 12 miles from the vinyard and will be taking his boat out there on friday. I hope everyone gets great weather this weekend, but I would still take the board! :)

And almost forgot to mention that shark fishing is just as good as the surfing in this spot.
