Yes I know

Everyone seems to be breaking the rule and checking the weather.

I sent Capt Bob an email and waiting to hear back on when he will make the call if we are a no go.

I'm sure he will not make the call so early.

If you remember last year is was poor weather forecast and it was fine come game time.

As soon as I hear from him I will post.

Has anyone seen any reports from him? Seems like his website and Facebook pages are not very up-to-date.

I would guess one of the problems for lack of reports is that no one fished in the canyons the last 2 weeks because of the weather. I found this report posted last night on another site.

"Just got back from a Voyage on a non-sponsor boat out of Pt.Pleasant. Scheduled for a 30 hour trip but we left at 10:00am to let the seas settle a bit. Not a bad ride out and once we were out there the seas were fine except for a big swell. Started mahi fishing and then anchored up around 7:00pm. I think everyone had between 5-15 mahi a piece. Biggest went around 20 lbs. Before the anchor got tight a few long fins were boated on jigs. After that it was a very slow pick on yellowfin from 60-80lbs. Never got a school going just one or two bites every hour on average. Fished at the rail jigging and bait fishing without a touch until 5:00am when we had a short blitz of long fin and was able to get two bites and boated 2 Longfin. In the end the boat boated a total of 31 tuna for 25 guys so I can't complain getting two of them. Longfin were between 40-60bs."

That is a good sign and I would think the tuna fishing should get better everyday as the ocean settles from that big blow we had.

Good Luck to you guys on your trip and don't forget to stay hydrated.

Bob is out now and will return tomorrow around noon.

I think we will be going and as soon as I hear from him I will post.

If you are bringing a guest please make sure they know we board at 2:30.

Time, tide and the gambler waits for no man.

I'm getting good vibes from the Tuna Goddess.

 Just a heads up for guys getting down to Point Pleasant on the early side ...

A small group of us will be getting together at Farrels Pub for a pre-trip lunch.

We are planning to be there around 12:30 ..

All welcome to join !!

The Jamaica posted good action in the canyons yesterday. Haven't seen any reports from the other boats.

[Still Running]

Just heard from Mike of the Gambler and we are a go!

He also told me the galley will be open and have breakfast sandwiches.

I asked if Bob told him how they were doing now, but he didn't ask.
