Buddy Boat this weekend

[C4E]

Possibly lookin for a buddy boat for this weekend to stay within 40nm of the Galveston jetties on one screw. Not sure what day just yet (Sat is prolly out) waiting to see when the swell is going to lay some more and spread out a little. If anyone is interested PM me and we'll stay in touch as the weekend approachs till then ill be glued to 42035.

[WestEndAngler]

I'll go any day Sunday or Monday looks to be the best. I got my free diving gear, I will need to get Yan to come too...


Also, Matt Darst (DarstM) on the board will be going out make sure to link up with him. He will be staying near Pirates & we should all 3 run out together...

I like it. Sunday or Monday definately....or both

[Milkjug]

Monday would be pretty awesome! I like the variable wind thing, always a good sign.

Gotta get those reds while the season is still on, but honestly the dog snapper were great too. Kinda funny how much work Coe and I put into securing tanks on the last few trips... Then we found out that they do just fine lying in the back of the boat, even in a squall

[Robalo]

I may go Sunday-depends on family stuff/waves-I will be going thru the Pass, not jetties. Will be on Channel 69-"Big O" if I go.

Now if JT would lower the gas price to $2.50, it'd help make the decision to go!! 120 gallons at $4.50 is a choker for those two snaps (dang NMFS and Gulf Council).

[WestEndAngler]

I go to Chevron & fill up my portables still... $3.59 is tough to beat near the water when most marinas are over $4.00

[Robalo]

May do that-got 2 of those 14 gallon ones and three 5 gal cans-three trips should do it?? Heck may trailer it. I will call ya Coe if we go-prolly the Bucs or baby Bucs???

Regardless where we decide to go I am hoping for minimal current & clear water so I can spear some snapper for us. I know Yan would agree with my comment too

I hated my 14 gallon till I removed the filler handle and jus left a tube hangin...big ol beer bong now works like a charm

Dont forget your state water snaps either

[Captain Kyle]

Gosh!! Buddy boating is a great idea! I always thought it would be kinda hard to find someone to do exactly what you want to. I guess with a fishing forum it would be easy.

[SUPER SPOOK]

good luck!
