Next week looks like a wash out thanks to hurricane Gordon

[Capt Stephen]

Heavy seas are predicted next week ! Looks like no offshore fishing ! 6-10 foot waves predicted thanks to hurricane Gordon .

Frustrating to say the least.... Just when things were really starting to heat up we get this :mad::mad:

[hammer4reel]

Happens right around this week every year.
betting by the time this blow is over the fluke will also be long gone.

so much for the extra three weeks .

Florence is the one to watch

Latest run I saw had Florence stalling and sitting off the Va/NC border then moving slightly south off of OBX before heading slightly east and up the coast.

Do these storms usually bring the pelagic species closer inshore after the blow? Or does it just spread them away from us?

Who knows which way this storm will track it’s a crap shoot. Trailered the boat out yesterday for some routine maintenance before bass season and that’s where she’s going to sit for the next week or so. Either way a good power washing, fresh coat of wax and some service work couldn’t have happened at a better time. Dan is right in his post every fluke season is cut short by storms in September. Fingers crossed this storm stays away!!!

Our society is so gullible...still believing weathermen.

I did the same, pulled it tonight .
Tides are already crazy high with new moon and the current storm,
def a good time to do the mid year service, as well as have peace of mind .

yep, and that's just this current storm, Florences effect haven't even started yet.
Today guys will be running around like nuts to pull their boats in evil conditions.

With all the rain this summer and now a possible tropical storm this Fluke season has been a wipe out for most. My question is will the powers to be say we over fished again even though a good portion of the Fluke season had bad weather and was unfishable? Why isn't this taken into consideration?

answer is simple... some employees from the NMFS and NOAA have managed to friend Jerry on the Monger and have already started planning on an early closure
