Re: The Kwo
east and SE can really kick up the ocean, although it can also bring in the clear water.
realize that the reef is only 5 miles offshore. so its not a far run in rough seas. its the at-anchor time that usually kills ya. i've been out in 15kts in my 20ft aquasport...solid 3-4ft seas with the 5ft sneaker in there. it isn't fun...but its diveable.

Re: The Kwo
im tellin you all it will lay down!! sorry the days are the days, and anyway we had 30 hardcore spearfisherman go out in tropical storm, ahhh i cant remember but hey ricky you remember the captains meeting at the topgun freedive championships? here was the forcast
pouring rain up to 3 inches winds from the southwest gusting 30 to 35 with the ocasional 40 for good measure seas 4 foot inside the reef and 6 to 8 outside and 10 to 12 in the straights!!! now that was bad there were reports of up to 60 ft of vis yesterday, and there are tons of spots closer to shore for at least sat if thats the way it goes but up to 15 is not so bad, i still think because they are calling for isolated showers, means it will lay down, now im not a meteorologist, but i did sleep at a holiday in express last night!!

Re: The Kwo
Had 2 of our team came in last night and were on the water this morning at 7. It may not be perfect for a couple of days but it has been a lot worse.
Get ready to have fun and get wet! I just checked the seas in my cooler, flat and calm 12" vis, with a fleet of 24 cans floating along with many iceburgs. I will rescue them later today with help from my friends! Don't forget to sent pictures and video's to catchingfish@helloworld.com Dan Last edited by Slider136; 05-01-2008 at 10:11 AM. |

Re: The Kwo
My recommendation is to STAY at HOME. The lineup on ESPN really looks sporty for Sat and Sun. Plus that horse race in Kentucky......how could you miss that? Just relax on the couch, drink beer, play with the kids and then take the family to the weigh-ins. That's where all the fun is! Why go out in questionable seas??? Plus, I heard there are sharks out there! Brad, you may want to re-think this with Gunny.
As for the rest of us, we'll try to make the weigh-in worth your time to change out of those pajamas! Last edited by Bottomcrawler; 05-01-2008 at 02:27 PM. Reason: more info |

Re: The Kwo
Ugh, Not doing the tournament again since no boat. Other boat kid couldn't do it because his dad couldn't go with him.

Re: The Kwo
those kinds of conditions.....a 20ft boat...and possibly diving alone....
i just don't have that kind of money to throw around for registration fees, gas, misc stuff....just to get my ass beat shooting fish that wouldn't place in the top 10. but i'll come down for the weigh-in festivities and order a few more beers
