Memorial Day weekend is coming up and thought I would run a little test on how the weather models screw with our heads throughout the week. :)) This morning all the models for the weekend looked terrible. This afternoon, looks like a window Sun/Mon. I'm going to capture the weather model screen shot run using windguru each day to see how much the model changes throughout the week. I'll pick a middle spot, Washington Canyon as the test. Here is the Monday, 1 pm model run for the Washington Canyon. This is just the GFS model which is what buoyweather uses. With this forecast, might be good for a Sun/Mon overnighter. But the 7th day of a 7 day forecast almost always looks good. Let's see how much downhill it goes as we get closer.

BTW, you can go to windguru and click spot search and under user type in fishdad and you'll have access to all my waypoints on windguru.



So who is planning on fishing this weekend (weather permitting)? :cool: ]]> Mid Atlantic Offshore Angler Mike Avery http://www.tidalfish.com/forums/showthread.php/331076-Weather-Check-Memorial-Day-Weekend Wilmington 05/18 http://www.tidalfish.com/forums/showthread.php/331073-Wilmington-05-18?goto=newpost Mon, 20 May 2013 15:51:17 GMT We left OC inlet Saturday morning around 6:30 making it to Wilmington around 9:15.

Conditions got pretty sporty once we got out about 30 miles making for a long bumpy ride. Set up for the troll and within 15 minutes my buddy began to get a little green under tha gills so we were one man down for allot of the trip. We managed to get a double hookup on BFT in 64 degree water along the 500 line. Both fish took squid spreader bars (one was a splash bar). Trolled a bit longer and thought about getting a shark spread ready but conditons would have been difficult to try and drift. Made it back to the docks around 4:30 with our first BFT of the year! They are out there guys go get em! Hopefully we get some decent weather memorial weekend to get out again.

We headed straight for toe 700 to 1000fa line and found the warm water, up to 69.7 degrees. We worked the area looking for a bite and something other than green water but no joy for the Canyon Draggin'. With a couple hours left in our day we headed to a safe haven tile hole and put some blue lines and a nice golden on ice so our Charter could take home some meat.

Headed out next Saturday. Hopefully the weather will be nice to us.

I was the only one who didn't have a camera! Long story short. Had the honor of being invited to fish aboard a friends boat out of OI. Ran to the point and picked up my first Atlantic Blue Marlin after hour and half of trolling. Estimate around 350-400lbs. Shortly thereafter went 4 for 5 on gaffer Mahi, followed later by 3 for 3 on YFT, 30lb range. We finished up the day deep dropping and picked up a 12lb citation Blue line tile and a 28lb citation snowy grouper. My forearms are smoked, my shoulders are mush but I fee great....Pics to follow later! Wow..is all I can say. Best day out OI for me ever! Thank you Casey, Pat, Tom and Jonathan!!!!!The best...........Some pics below, don't have pics of the mahi or tuna yet. Water temp when we dropped lines is was around 74 then trolled into colder water around 69. Picked up the Mahi in the warm water, weeds were broken due to wind, but we found some floatsome and picked up 4 of 5. We were outside the rest of the OI boats by quite a few miles, lots of pressure as almost every boat in OIFC was fishing. Tuna were caught as we made our way back into the fleet. Got one knock down, then the second and third a few seconds afterward. Never saw another tuna or mahi all day. Deep dropped around 1:00pm for 2 hours then headed in. Lots of boats did okay, a few boats did real well. Believe many had to deep drop to save the day. Think only one other boat had a marlin release. Was pretty smoked by the time we got back in around 4:30. Despite the seas (5') there were lots of boats out there from 23' CC on up. Can't speak for anyone else but we had a banner day!!

We started fishing in 700 fathoms behind the Baltimore in 68 degree water and had a long day of trolling but we managed to pick up a 20-25lb yellow fin and a 50-60 pound blue fin, never marked any bait or saw any life. We set up and sharked over night and had lot of action, 2 blue sharks, 3 juvenile makos and then the right mako finally came along but managed to come unglued, I'm going to guess 175-200lb. We pushed inside at first light and looked for our "over" blue fin but had no luck around the hotdog/hambone area. We did however keep everyone onboard on their toes with chopper blue fish all morning.

Glad our first trip was a success and we are looking forward to the many more we'll have this season.

Left OC with a limited SST shot and ran straight to Wilmington with a plan to troll for tuna till dark, then set up for our first overnight shark experience. Found 57 degree water in the Wilmington, so pushed out to the 500 line and found 68 degree water.

Short version;

0 for 0 Tuna
1 for 2 Skippys
0 for 2 Makos- both technical releases as we had the leaders multiple times, but cannot lie, we wanted to kill both of them but failed.
1 for 1 Blue Dog release

Long version;

One Skippy to show for the evening troll. Set up and on first shark drift in 500 fathoms and 68 degree water. Long surface bait goes tight. Not sure what to think as it was just lifeless dead weight dragging it to the boat? Thinking he hooked a boot, Richard yells, "Mako!". We were all surprised to see a nice 200lb plus mako just hanging out next to the boat. Remember, we are all shark novices. No gun, no flying gaff, but have seen the funny youtubes of guys gaffing green makos much smaller than this one. So we hurry to put the harpoon together. Meanwhile Mr. mako decides he doesn't like us anymore and goes nuts right behind the boat, then goes airborne 8 ft high and almost lands in the cockpit! After two more runs, we get him back to the boat and ready the harpoon, only to have him bolt under the boat and wrap up into the running gear and break off. Dammit!

Second drift, current was ripping at over 2 knots to the northeast, 30 minutes in, another bite, another Mako! Smaller, we guess 100 lbs and debate on killing, but "bird in the hand" debate for our first mako is quick. Richard harpoons him at the same time he spits the hook. a few seconds later the poon darts pulls as well. Double Dammit.

Got snotty overnight and for the morning troll that produced only another Skippy and we decided to set up for day time shark. One blue dog release. Headed to the barn at 11.

Good luck out there. Somebody is going to bring some tuna home soon!
