We'll have refreshments brought to us by well-appointed wait staff and professional fish cleaners there eager to convert our sheepshead/pompano/speckled trout etc. into tasty fillets, which the on-site chef will be glad to prepare to your specifications. There won't be a bathroom attendant (I've always thought that was weird and awkward), but the bathrooms will be properly stocked and cleaned regularly. There will be a complimentary bait station for everyone to avail themselves of live shrimp, eels (seasonal), and ghost shrimp (harvested by a team of specialized ghost shrimp-suckers). In other words - Fisherman's Heaven!

I'm revising my forecast for this weekend to rain, wrong-way high winds, muddy water, high humidity, higher humility, googans, catfish, sharks, no LYs, cheap pizza, bad internet connections and watching college football on too-small motel TVs. In short, a typical trip for me. But, I'll be with my son, so who cares?
Re: forecast. The GFS has the storm traveling faster and going ashore near Grand Isle, LA early Sunday morning. If that is right it will put us on the right side of the dang thing - much worse for surf and erosion than the map above.
I think we'd better keep an eye on this thing.
Ensemble also has it west of us.

European has future "Nate" going east of us.

I cast my vote for that forecast.
yuk...looks like massive doses of bahama bobs key lime pie to ease the pain of a fishless beach....
Key Lime, oysters, beer sounds like a good way to pass the time if you can't fishQuote:

I thank God this is NOT forecast to be a devastating hurricane!
Just a minimal one, and it should move through quickly allowing the water to calm early next week...

...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...
Synopsis: A strong ridge of high pressure across the southeast U.S. and northern Gulf maintains moderate easterly winds and elevated seas through Friday. Winds and seas diminish slightly over the near shore waters, inland bays, and sounds each afternoon. Winds and seas build over the weekend as Tropical Depression 16 moves northward and develops further over the central Gulf. Tropical storm conditions will be possible over the marine area starting Saturday night.
TodayNortheast winds 18 to 23 knots diminishing to 13 to 18 knots. Seas 5 to 6 feet.
TonightNortheast winds 15 to 20 knots increasing to 18 to 23 knots. Seas 4 to 5 feet.
FridayEast winds 18 to 23 knots. Seas 6 to 7 feet. Chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Friday NightEast winds 13 to 18 knots becoming southeast. Seas 6 to 7 feet. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.
SaturdayEast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 5 to 6 feet. Showers likely in the morning. Slight chance of thunderstorms. Showers in the afternoon.
Saturday Nighttropical storm conditions possible. Showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.
Sundaytropical storm conditions possible. Showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.
Sunday NightSouth winds 20 to 25 knots diminishing to 18 to 23 knots. Seas around 9 feet subsiding to around 6 feet. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.
Monday
Southwest winds 10 to 15 knots becoming south 8 to 13 knots. Seas 4 to 5 feet. Chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms.
Looks like Monday will be a J&M day. I need a new tee handle for my pier cart and a long sleeve J&M t-shirt for the cooler weather to come. Tackle boxes need reorganizing and reels re-spooled. Hopefully a few specs or flounder will bite in the lagoon on Tuesday. Wind may calm enough by Wednesday to get ghost shrimp for next March and April. Maybe by Thursday the water calms down enough to fish the pier.
Planning to come down Sat. for a week at the park. Having the urge to shout the F word over and over very loudly. Do you think it might help?
Bound to help at least one fellow, in my experience.Quote:
