Anyone else going to give it a go at his weekend?

Weather folks haven't even figure out WHEN yet... It may be beautiful this weekend,who knows.. Bracing for the worst though..

My plans are to go to the coast to fish, waiting on what the storm does for final decision. Hopefully it stays way off shore and I can surf fish some this weekend.

If you mean the weekend of the 7,8and9th
ABSOLUTLEY at this point... Really it is a bit soon to make the determination

Right now it is not looking good for OBX. I'm guessing that if the current NHC is accurate, you will start seeing gusting winds Sat afternoon.

I had planned to be down that way starting Saturday. That's looking a little less likely with the latest models. After it finishes devastating Haiti it may well be headed your way.

7 hour drive for me, for once I am a bit pessimistic.

I am looking at the warm water off FL/GA/SC/NC. Rutgers says 85*(ish) from Miami to O'Coke. Looks like a lot of energy there to suck up. I hope it swings east soom

Now the damn thing is pushing a little my way and has me thinking it's time to break out the storm shutters.

unless I stood to lose a ton of money I'd wait.

I am planning to go down to Topsail Beach this weekend. Just wondering from you guys that live on the coast- AFTER a hurricane passes and there is not too much damage and floating debris, is the fishing better or worse due to the wave/wind effects? Thanks for any info and YES I am planning to make the 6 hour drive for my annual fall migration to the salt!

Marine forecast is saying 23 ft bring a big piece of lead. Kenny to you and the rest of the island I hope it stays far enough out that hurricane force is offshore but even then gonna be a lil bumpy out.

Doesn't look good for the weekend. Had a trip planned down to Wilmington for the weekend, rods and gear already layed out on dining room table, taking inventory. Wife loves that.

I had planned to be in those parts also starting friday...

 

[surfchunker]

we have a house rented in Avon starting the 15th for a week and sure is looking bad, most models I see show soundside track

 

[surfchunker]

class 5 right now with 160 mph sustained winds

 

[abass105]

This thing is getting stronger from the warm water and pressure dropping. Not looking good for a lot of people.

We had a trip planned for rodanthe and an offshore trip planned for Friday out of teaches lair. We bailed out. Twenty foot seas offshore predicted and the charter captain talking about evacuating that's a no brainier. Stay the hell away. The surf will be pounding and unfishable. Over wash on route twelve is likely if it comes anywhere close to the coast. I don't want any part of that. Everyone be cautious ....still too early to tell but better safe than sorry.

As it looks right now anything south of Topsail will see the storm head on.. I remember Fran and how it fooled a lot of folks and went up the cape fear river. It finished what Bertha started on Topsail. Where is a fast moving Cold Front from the NW when you need it?
