Re: Raritan Bay question
I have seen RB foaming white and have seen it where would be unsafe in any boat... thats not something you see all the time of course.. However, the boat is a 21 foot seaworthy hull, and usually in the bay thats plenty of boat to keep you reasonably safe,even with 25 knot wind against tide.. However, being "reasonably safe" out there and actually being able to enjoy the day and fish effectively are 2 different things..
strong E winds with an outgoing tide are bad if you area anywhere near the Hook to the Staten Island side..... Not as bad if you stay in the lee between say the Hook and the ammo pier, but still can be choppy as hell... If you are going to get battered, and not be able to fish, why bother?... I usually keep a close eye on tide and wind direction/speed before heading down to NJ, as well as approaching cold fronts... bob
