Got a chance to go offshore on a 46ft Hatteras on Saturday…how is the weather going to be with TS Noel out off the Atlantic? What is running off Charleston right now?
Me too. Last I heard Logga ended up somewhere in Mexico. Something about smuggling bodies across the border.
Redfishripper, the sailfish are biting this time of year. I’ve also heard some wahoo are being caught too.
But don’t worry, with the weather looking like it does right now, I don’t think you’ll be going out anyways. Weather is really nasty for Saturday right now.

Seems like all the people planning to go offshore in a hurricane are the same ones who are too stupid to post on the right boards. Coincidence?

yep,i have clicked all over FP’s site…south is the way to go,but are the fish i want there,that is the million dollar question…[:I]
so how big is your state record?
kinda funny if you think about it. Man not only has access to a 46’ hatteras, but also the internet and asks weather questions?? seriously, thats whacked. i can understand the “whats biting” question, but weather??? Shouldnt the guy who runs the hatteras have this figured out by now???
Sounds to me like he is a guest on the 46’ Hatters and probably doesn’t want to annoy the hell out of the Captain by asking “are we going?, are we going?, are we going?, are we going?, huh?, huh?, huh?, are we going?”
Man Sprig…no love for the newbies huh? Like most know, I’m new to this forum and dont know what you catch offshore in SC. You dont have to be a hater just because Im asking alot of questions
ok, I have to chime in on this one.
WHAT THE HE** MAN??? (done in the Jeff Dunham voice)
Maybe the guy was just wanting to start some conversation, see what people think the weather is going to do. Pretty sure any idiot can look up the info on a website dang near anywhere.
You know just because he is going to fish a “Whatthef***ever” doens’t mean he has to turn into a complete peckerhead and snub his nose up at everyone around, which is EXACTLY what it sounds like you would do.
Redfish I am sorry so folks on here get eat up with stupid, glad to have you posting and good luck with your trip.
Yes fine, my wife kept me up with the whole pirates custom feeding the fat kids and I ate too much crap last night.
This too shall pass…
Stay inshore up the river a bit.
Local Boy, Just having fun.
Yeah it looks like flatcalm on the pond for saturday.
i got lots of love for newbies…hell i’m a newbie.
just seems we all have this magic box we type on that also has any info you could possibly want. I guess, guessing weather is more fun.
like i said, i understood the “whats biting” question. I apologize if i offended the “ripper”, wasnt my intentions.
and if you get out tomorrow, take lots of dramamine:smiley:
looks like sunday and monday are shaping up nicely…
finally …
so how big is your state record?
While sprig is excited about the oportunity, the
captn. is watching the weather.
Tues./ Wed. could be the days to go.
I think I’m going to give it a try in my 16 ft dura craft tomorrow. I don’t see any need to go through the effort of putting the Mako in the water old johnny should be able to handle ten footers 70 miles out. I’m just going to strap the johnny down with gas tanks throw on the duck blind to keep the spay off since it didn’t come equipped with curtains and go for it. Oh yeah how many lines can you run off a 16 foot johnboat? Should I bother with taking the outriggers off my mako and strapping them to the johnny? Also I don’t think I’ll need the kicker the old 50hp 1998 johnson is pretty reliable.
