Do yall think it would be alright?

If I was to take a 17' neptune sunbird out to the reef that is about 3 miles out from cumberland island. I have never fished any reefs and seen that there are some inshore reefs and this one being the nearest thought I might give it a try, or should I just stay in.

we take a 18' key west out all the time out to the reefs as long as it is 2' or less seas and no thunderstorms

Yeah, you can go out there... Watch the weather to your west mainly and pick your days. You should be fine. Staying past 1 PM is always rolling the dice on the afternoon thunderstorms.

 

[Southern_Buck]

Thanks guys I wasnt to sure so I thought I would ask. I hear ya on them afternoon thunderstorms they bad enough when you are inland.

Go for it. Make sure you got a good weather forcast, VHF, a working bildge, and be in by 1!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Southern_Buck]

Got the VHF and a brand new bildge in the boat that works like a champ.

Do you have membership w/ Boat US or Seatow? Things happen fast out there and any kind of breakdown will cost you mega bucks if you need a tow in and are not a member. This isn't the cost of insurance but rather the cost of safety.

 

[Southern_Buck]

yeah I became a seatow member the day I bought my boat.

Congrads. Too many boaters go offshore (even nearshore) w/out it. Good luck and have fun.
