crazy_cajun02 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNG Proud Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm countin' on that 2 ft. seas.we usually run about 50 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_cajun02 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 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.Tight Lines and Following Seas, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_cajun02 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I agree, looks like that low pressure system is week and should be over land by friday. It's right on the edge of that stationary front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_cajun02 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_cajun02 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico...The area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave locatedjust east of the Windward Islands has become a little betterorganized this morning. An Air Force reconnaissance aircraft isscheduled to investigate this area this afternoon. Whileenvironmental conditions do not appear especially favorable fordevelopment...there is still some potential for this system tobecome a tropical depression during the next day or two as it moveswestward near 15 to 20 mph. Regardless of whether developmentoccurs...this system will likely bring squalls to the WindwardIslands during the next day or so. The large area of cloudiness between Bermuda and Nova Scotia isassociated with an extratropical low. Formation into a tropical orsubtropical cyclone is not expected.A large area of cloudiness and showers has developed over thenortheastern Gulf of Mexico in association with an old frontalzone. Some slow development of this system is possible during thenext day or two as it remains nearly stationary. Elsewhere...tropical cyclone formation is not expected during thenext 48 hours.$$Forecaster Rhome/Beven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_cajun02 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 either i'm reading that model wrong or it shows the center of circulation to be over baton rouge by saturday? That would be good for us. Gives us a north to west wind at 5-10knts also. hopefully a light north wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

643 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_cajun02 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 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.

PNG Proud Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 We'll for one thing the NWS is bad at forecasting, especially marine stuff. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy_cajun02 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 PNG that warm rater line has moved closer in to galveston so hopefully you'll be able to find blue water. I'm pretty sure the pocket of cooler water is due to the runoff from the river (trinity that is). We may be going out sunday, on the century but i don't know yet.
