Offshore this weekend

[Gilbert]

I saw the report. 4's don't bother me too much but less than 2's are nice. I find most of the larger fish like a little chop. We'll see.

I bought a detailed offshore map offshore of Galveston. It lists all the GPS locations for all the rigs and hot spots. Just wondering if anyone knew of the name of some of these rigs or areas that seem to produce well this time of year.

How far out is the blue water right now?

how big is your boat that 4's don't bother you?

[darstm]

Boat is almost 24ft. 4s don't bother me.
If forecast is calling 4-6 I'm iffy but that's when fishing bite is normally ON. Larger fish seem to like the chop. I usually catch most limits when seas are like this.
I've never had good luck when it's pancake flat.

[darstm]

I can't find the Buc Rigs on my map. 180 heading looks like you will come near Mitchell's Reef and past that is Blue Dolphin Rigs.
Anyone know how far out these are?

you are really mad at them. I wouldn't fish 4's on a 30' boat. My best day offshore was on a day when it looked like a lake out there. Couple ripples here and there other than that, flat glass.

If forecast holds and high pressure moves in this weekend I'll go Monday & will be spearfishing with all my new gear. After seeing Yan get wrapped up around a rig leg & coming home with brusies all over my chest from loading my gun I found a cheater pad & 80' long floating line for the gun so I can come to the surface... Free diver at your service

[C4E]

My buddy called me today to fish an offshore tourney thursday. I took one look at the offshore wx forecast and told him to go kick rocks. He could have all that he wanted. All I could think of is how much shorter I would be after all of the cartiliage in my body was compressed from high speed boat bashing. Made me think of a funny video....careful where you watch theres some bad words

[darstm]

I saw the same forecast.
I think we will be fine. Just have to keep an eye on it.

I've fished offshore with seas much worse. 4s really don't bother me.

Hopefully the high pressure moves in sooner for us. We'll see.

Never spear fished....heard it's a blast.

[darstm]

Planning on going Sat or Sun weather permitting.

[Redfish Rob]

Y'all are acting like a bunch of old men ! 2-4's that's nothing ! Bring it on !

If you want to fill up the gas tank I'll go... $500 should cover it

[darstm]

Haha! Filling mine all the way up for sure.
