Well we gained some miles - hard earned by any definition, then did what we had to. The boat was fine in a navigational sense, no issues there at all, but the intransigent Simon relentlessly hounded our attempt to creep south with big wind and seas; bigger than any of us wanted to endure all day long. With no break in the forecast and nothing but a day long slog gaining little ground or advantage ahead of us we opted for the best solution.
A small island haven we haven't utilized in many years was the destination of choice. Mind you this wasn't a fishing move, we caught only a few miscellaneous grabbers as the day past, this was a weather dependent action made in all our best interest.
So we passed the day waiting in a calm lee with the rain pouring and wind screaming. It rated low in action, excitement, and entertainment but all time in comfort relative to the conditions. It has been quite some time since we scrubbed a day of fishing due to conditions but these rare occasions come with the territory. Safety always comes first.
By all forecasts it appears that we will be back in the saddle tomorrow as the lingering effects of Simon wane. We'll still be dealing with some wind and seas, the relentless bastard is intent upon reminding us about our place in the real world, but it will be workable. Onward ho.

10-7-201410/6/14 A good morning of yellowtail action in the most beautiful conditions imaginable - grease calm, no wind, zero seas. Plenty of time at the rail was exactly what we were aiming for before taking off mid day for points south. Yellowtail accomplished now we stage for the next zone in the face of advancing Simon. In that respect it is safe to say that this storm is determined to assert itself into all of our business during the next couple of...... Read More

10/5/14 A good beginning enjoying grease calm conditions and a few afternoon hits on nice yellows before settling in for the night. Held up by the inevitably approaching, soon to be remnants, of Tropical Storm Simon we are fortunate to have excellent yellowtail fishing available. Though predicting tomorrow's results is more than a little presumptuous in this case I'll venture the bet; there is a lot of sign around in the most perfect conditions imaginable. We have to get them before...... Read More
