Looks like a fine window for crabbing. And just bitching in general around the house!

Yep. Maybe time for some fly tying, rod building, stock work, or reloading.
Building up a little snow here and supposed to have a hard freeze on the way.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

i've been out in 12' swells, not sloppy, in a 25ft boat. wasn't to bad but a little unnerving at first. if it was sloppy it would be a different story.

That was a horrible trip. Four people in the crew and on the first pick one had wrapped his right hand in the ground line when I was tying it off at the reel. The line was cleated to the gypsy and he was in the middle. I stepped back and put both hands up for the "all-clear" and the deck boss threw the line off the gypsy just as we were headed up on a wave. Immediately the idiot was dragged to the crucifier with three wraps around his right hand.
The deck boss instantly cut the line but the hand was broken. The line never traveled down the fingers at all yet the tips of two fingers were popped open. The idiot had to stay in his bunk for the rest of the trip.
Worse, we had to pick downwind on a huge set.
Best moment of the trip... Deck boss called for two extra gaffs. I was straight behind him on the starboard side close to the stern and started heading up the side when I saw the fish come off the deck boss's gaff and fall back into the water. I immediately fell flat on the deck and reached as far down as I could with my gaff and hit that fish right in the stomach.
I hollered for help and we brought a 250# plus (headed and gutted) fish over the side. It turned out to be the biggest fish of the trip and worth well north of a grand.
Truth be told, swinging the gaff was an afterthought as I was falling down due to the boat moving...

Boat ride? Screw that.
Just listen to the stories and drink beer.
