Working the Storms
Author: Captain Terry Frankford | Posted: 09/11/2008It may sound like the testosterone level is a little high going out before or between storms, however, you can do it with out incident, if you pay close attention to conditions. When I say before the storm it's not hours, it's more like a day. I'm not going far, inshore or within a ten mile distance from shore to the artificial reefs. My boat is in perfect condition, I have towing insurance with Boat U.S., several Captain's who are personal friends wouldn't have a problem coming out to help me, and someone always knows my plan for the day. I keep a 360 degree eye on the horizon for storms, and with a boat that can go upwards of 40mph, ten miles isn't far. Don't take chances, but try working the storms, it will prove productive and keep you on the water.
