    Hoping for smooth water this weekend

    Oldest brother is coming in and we are/were hoping for smooth waves to go offshore-checked the forecasts and it's saying 3-4, building to 3-5', which slams that door shut. I hope the forecasts are wrong and it's 1' waves!!

    If it is, anyone else going? We'd go thru SLP, GA 272 then south towards 350 area or SW towards the old Bucs.

    Just did a quick recon down to Surfside. The wind was from the NORTH at about 5kts.
    Beachfront was very flat. Offshore close in was pretty nice looking also. Hopefully it will hold for a few days.
    And of course I have to go out of town tomorrow! Arrrrrr

            we went to the place off of hw146 south of kemah bridge, they sell all sizes of drums. we bring 45 extra gallons (three 15 gallon drums). you gotta have less brains, and more balls here in texas to get the good fish

              RSN:

              We did that on a 3 day trip to the Chandeleurs/Breton when the Islander was still around. They asked what the eight 7 gallon sealed buckets were we set against a walkway in back-when we said "gas" they almost sheeeted but let us keep em there to fill up!! Was kinda spooky hauling all that, plus the weight but was glad we did since we didn't have to run to Venice to refill like the other boat with us did (which takes about 1/4 tank run each way) thru Baptiste Collette. A buddy just got a 38' with trip 300 verados-he has 275 gallon tank and said he's getting a bladder so he can run further-I asked how fast his boat runs-he said full of gas about 60, 1/2 tank about 70-I said sheez, you don't need a bladder if ya can run 120 miles in 2 hours!!

              We do need to do a buddy run close in though!! I think I've seen ya out there-I have a 23' Robalo CC with blue t-top and twin 115 mercs.

                  I keep the Robalo at brother's place/lift in Sea Isle (lucky me-I get the trailer in my driveway!)-it only has the "O" out of ROBALO on its sides, so pretty easy to spot. Labor Day is Bdays for my GF and me, so likely will just bayfish/booze cruise in Skeeter and maybe do offshore on Sunday??? I'll be down tonite and am down most every weekend since I gotta WORK dangit!!

                  You're right around the corner from me in JB.
