Is todays SST real ???

wak'm&stak'm · 09-09-2002, 09:11 AM

Well some of you may have made your last trip....but I haven't. Or atleast I think I haven't.

MY boat will be out of the shop Tues....and I was hoping to go Thurs. fri, or Sat...BUT it looks to me like tuna town is the closest edge today, it move 20 plus miles ..ARG!!!

wak'm&stak'm · 09-09-2002, 02:53 PM

Sounds like a plan...not bad today

Uglygreen · 09-09-2002, 07:29 PM

Im in... let me know when.

Uglygreen

corrirod · 09-09-2002, 07:48 PM

Uglygreen, I've sent you two emails regarding your fishfinder. Are you getting the emails?

Pilar · 09-09-2002, 11:52 PM

Have faith Wak. And if you need a running mate, let me know. I haven't made my last one yet either. Wed, Thurs or Fri work for me.

As far as the Ocean goes .....

Lay down you beeeyaaaattch

Marty · 09-10-2002, 07:27 AM

Gentlemen

I am going to try and go out Wed. if the current weather pattern holds. The NW winds don't really come up til 1 or 2 and the west swell is a non issue once you get there because it is a wonderful downhill run on the way home. The wind and windchop is the big IF. BUT then again we only have to run 23 miles to be in the zone. The Amigo got fish at 15 miles as he was trolling in on Sunday. I think the weather will be better in another week or so, but the fish may be at 40 miles or more by then. It is a real luxury to have them this close. Decisions, decisions. I will call down to Depoe to see if any of the charters went out and report back the weather conditions and catching status.

What am I going to do with my life when the tuna are gone.???

I am really confused now. When Wak started this thread I pulled up the SST, and it showed the warm edge clear out at tuna town, just as he said. Today I pulled it up again and the date still shows the 9th, yet shows 60 degree water within 12 miles of Depoe. What gives??

Marty · 09-10-2002, 09:29 AM

Salmonator

It is pretty confusing sometimes. Here is what I know........the temps can fluctuate 2 or 3 degrees from the a.m. pics to the pm. pics. The 60 degree water (the true edge) may be out near the 125/45, BUT the last three times I have gone out the high temp that I recorded (my guage may be off???) was 57.4. We got all our fish in 56.2 to 56.6 at the 23.5 mile mark. Temps are a great indicator, but when you have jumpers and breaking fish and diving birds......thats the real deal and temps don't play as much of a roll. When you have the temps, blue water, jumpers, breaking fish and diving birds.........................then it is WIDE OPEN, but you usually don't all the indicators at the same time. Hope this helps.

Marty,

Are you going for tuna Saturday? I'll be at Depoe
Bay late Friday morning to change fuel filters and
to clean the air filters so I'll be ready for Saturday
morning (I hope).

Right now the plan is to leave Saturday morning about
5:30ish. Hope to see you there!!

I have to babysit the little one Thursday, Friday and Saturday AND most of Sunday, so I am trying to get outside in the big blue before my obligations start. But...........if it is WIDE, I may have a backup babysitter. I would be in trouble (again) for a deed such as that, but what can you do??? Boy....I am going to be a mess when the tuna are no longer around to play with. I am already thinking of pulling the boat down to San Luis Obispo in California for the big bite that happens there in October and November and usually December also. They get a lot of those big 50, 60, 70 and 80 lb. albies. Last year or the year before they set 2 or 3 world records for pole caught albacore. AND they have live bait. How about a caravan down......fish for a week and limp home. Then maybe south to Cabo for the yellowfin off the Gordo banks and then to Zihuatenjho (spelling) for the 200 & 300 lb yellowfin on the mainland. Then I could come home and catch up with 8 months of yardwork and hope my wife isn't too mad for being gone that long. Who wants to join me???? I have to blame the idea on someone else.

Good fishin if I don't see you this weekend.

Um, er... Uh... Pilar? (biting my nails and bouncing my knee... it's been 3 days since my last tuna fix...)

wak'm&stak'm · 09-10-2002, 02:21 PM

The wind is not to bad today so far....I called Servens and he said he may get to my boat Wed....then what if he has to oder something...

I will know where I stand tomorrow...sure want to sneak out there.

Thanks for the lastest reports Marty...

ANDYCOHO · 09-10-2002, 04:32 PM

Marty,

Are you going tomorrow? I've been thinking about sneeking out. Call me tonight if you want another boat to keep you company.

let me know,
Andy

Pilar · 09-10-2002, 07:12 PM

Wak, Thursday? Pretty much my last chance this week if I can pull it off. 'Puffins' trailer is done, he wants to go then too.

Watch the weather.

ClamdiggerMike · 09-10-2002, 08:31 PM

Marty:
Don't worry about fishing this weekend. Go for it! Your "in-laws" in Salem will take care of the little one for a "ransom" of 30lbs. of tuna fillets. If you're interested, call M & M (we can't cover Calif or Mexico, though!) :grin:

fish assassin · 09-11-2002, 04:44 AM

Marty,

Sounds like just toooo much fun! However, I have a
real job that I have to go to on a daily basis so that
I can pay for that new boat! We'll talk again about
a trip like that in 4 years, 9 months and 16 days
when I retire ...

wak'm&stak'm · 09-11-2002, 07:31 AM

Pilar....I am hoping Servins will look at my boat today....but who knows.
Sure foggy this morning and a little swell.

I hope to know more this afternoon.

Pilar · 09-11-2002, 07:36 AM

Hey Wak, the forecast sure looks dog doo for Thursday. What's the Mk I eyeball have to say?

wak'm&stak'm · 09-11-2002, 01:06 PM

Well Pilar...I have not seen the ocean all day. Vis. is about 50yrds. but it sounds a lillte noisey.
It was a hard decsion but I am going to go help paint my parents house in medford. I have been putting this off and I may as well do it now, so next week will be free.
I still have my last trip to do......so stay in touch.

Pilar · 09-11-2002, 01:57 PM

Good enough Dan, I have the mundane to do anyway as well. Besides I really can't imagine fishing without my mate, she really makes the trip fun.

I'll save a day off owed for hard work for the next nice set of ocean days. Stay in touch.
