Probably a little more comfy in case the weather doesn't co-op. Your not to far away so it will be easier to hook up.
 
Next door to the Beam; at Whitey's house. I was wondering why he changed his plans to go up Friday early; we should be there by 5pm, we will either come over and have a beer or you are welcome to come over to the house for a few. There are a few of us in the house this year but we will see you up there!

We'll look out for you guy's for sure.
 
Thanks for the forecast F.D. I'll wear black - a wet suit - for the occasion.
Looking forward to the Derby and to seeing a few other forum folks out there.
Good luck!
 
We're loading up and on the move shortly.
See everyone out there, Weather sounds kind of ****** for the first bit, but if what we have now holds a bit longer, it will be great. Port has minor breeze so the run out should be good. La Perouse winds are up, wave height down from last night and easterly, which shouldn't hurt us inside too much.
Good luck to all, weather wise and of course fish wise.
 
So the latest forecast looks good for Sat morning. I'm thinking that will be the best time for fishing close to the outside edge. Friday might be a little "kidney pounding" on the way up though..lol

Likely lots of debris getting pumped out of Nahmint etc, going to have to keep a close eye out for prop candy transitting the canal.
 
Take your time in the inlet, boys...f'n near sunk after hitting a log running out to this derby 3 years ago. With this ****** weather there will likely be deadheads everywhere.
Not making it this year :(
May drive out and fish Sun morning with a buddy who's out there.

Have fun!
 
Points well taken folks. We will be taking it easy on the ride out. Don't want to start the weekend off with a bent prop or worse a blown lower unit.
