I'll be on the islander. Probably going to fish LJ in the morning before since I'm off all weekend. See you guys there

You guys gonna try and hop on next Friday now? I believe its the 27th through the 29th? Or going to try and make the midweek June trip?

I'm on the May 27-29 now, actually works out better with the 3 day weekend. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Yeah I called Kerry and told him Next Friday as well... And Dido on the weather,, I did not realize what was happening off the islands as it's calm now, but he pointed out that they are calling for 15+ knot winds out there this weekend

Calling today for the 27-29th

Same here. Hopefully the wind dies down by next weekend

Good luck, fellas!!

Please post up a report when you get back. I'm on the NCKA 3.5 day trip and I chartered the NCKA 2.5 day trip.

Looking forward to hearing how you folks do. I'll post a report from our trips, as well.

Anyone got a beat on the weather forecast for this weekend yet? Also any tips and tackle recommendations would be awesome!

You guys should be good. The forecast posted above is for SCI out to 60nm. The point and click forecast for SCI looks much better.


Friday
W wind around 10 kt. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny. WNW swell 1 to 2 ft. Wind waves around 2 ft.


Friday Night
W wind around 10 kt. Increasing clouds. . Wind waves 1 to 2 ft.


Saturday
Variable winds 5 kt or less. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny. WNW swell 1 ft. Wind waves 1 ft or less

[Stuck20]

That's the forecast I've seen as well. Last I checked winds were supposed to be up to about 10kt for the weekend but now it says it might be lower come Saturday. Looks like the weather is clearing up just in time so hopefully it stays true.
