seats available, specimen whitefish hunt, 11/9 Crosshaven

Apparently the bishops have told the farmers to all pray for settled weather and it
looks like He was listening.

There are tentative signs the weather will settle for next friday so i've provisionally booked
Joe Lynch's boat wreck hunter for Fri 11th to target big whitefish on the wrecks.

The Wreck Hunter is a new custom built Wildcat 107 Catamaran, licensed and insured for 12 passengers, so I'd reckon a crew of 10 would be the maximum.
Boat specs here.

Keep saying your hail marys lads

not sure yet jw still playin silly buggers in work

Hey jw it looks like I can't go. It may happen that the coin will flip towards the end of the week, but for now I'm out. Tight lines guys!

gave the skipper of the boat joe lynch a ring and he says the trip is cancelled due
to unsuitable weather conditions. He says there is a forecast for 20 knot easterly winds.
Also says he is fairly confident the forecast won't change.

How can he be sure this far ahead what exactly the wind
will be like, also the forecast looks ok to me with my limited experience a light easterly breeze
of around 9 knots, but maybe im wrong

anyway what do you want to do now?

He might be working off this one

I agree, Bit early to make a call like that. I'm guessing a double booking or perhaps he is busy that day It does look a little unpredictible though.

I just looked at the forecast and Friday & Saturday indeed looks bad in term of strength of the wind. As this is 7th week in a row this year for me of looking at the weather forecast. I would say it would not change much. So the skipper is probably right. I'm happy that I'm fishing in fresh water this weekend so hopefully wind would not affect me too bad. Anyway - let's hope that next Saturday will be less windy...

Jw no point having a repeat of last time better to wait and make sure we have the weather spot on put me down for the next date thanks again!

better to wait and make sure we have the weather spot on

You're talking about next year - I'm affraid

Spoke to Kevin MacGabhann this very moment, he has the Maigdan Mara available for 6-8 people this Friday, 3 guys are already booked, he starts from Spiddal at 9 for a whitefish trip, pollock, coalies, etc.
Forecast for the Galway/Connemara area is perfect, sunshine, light winds 3m/s. I definitely go for it if we can get a group organised.

I can highly recommend Kevin he is a great skipper.

Well, Kevin may be a great skipper but his boat....
It is going to take three days at least to get to the wrecks and then three days for getting back
