NC boys, where would you concentrate your efforts?

[budwiller]

I have always looked at the Sat Shots for help but never studied them like some do. Using this image, where would you start your blood bath in the stream?

Thanks

[Capt. Lyndon]

I'd start at the blackjack, and work toward the steeples. Their have been a lot of dolphin and a few wahoo mixed in in these area's. It look like you have a decent break sitting just inshore of the blackjack, so I'd watch your temp gauge and look out for the rip on the break.

I JUST HUNG UP THE PHONE WITH ROFFERS FORECASTING SERVICE http://www.roffs.com/index.html AND INVITED HIM TO INTERPRET THIS SST SHOT FOR BUD AND THE CREW...I ONLY SPOKE WITH A SECRETARY BUT I DID SEND HIM AN EMAIL WITH THE INVITE TO THIS THREAD.....WE SHALL SEE ....HERO OR ZERO FOR ME-US!

BUT BEFORE THE POSSIBLE GUEST APPEARANCE OF MITCH...I WILL TAKE A STAB IN THE DARK HERE WITH MY "OPINION" BEFORE HE LOGS IN ......THIS WAY I WILL KNOW JUST HOW BAD I MESSED THIS UP.

I DON'T CLAIM TO BE THE "BEAST" WHEN INTERPRETING SST....BUT I GUESS I HAVE BEEN LUCKY FROM TIME TO TIME...THIS IS JUST MY OPINION HERE WITH A "TRANSLATION" OF SORTS

I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE "COLLISION" OF THE GULFSTRAM HOTWATER TRAVELLING N-NE AS IT CROSSES OVER THE THE 100F MARK TO THE 30F LEDGES , COLLIDING WITH WHAT I INTERPRET AS DOWN CURRENT ( A SPIN OFF OF BLENDED WARM WATER TRAVELLING SW) AND PUSHING RICH NUTRIENTS UPWARD AS IT GRINDS ACROSS THE RISING OCEAN FLOOR GENERATING AND ATTRACTING BAITFISH ...WHICH NATURALLY ATTRACTS ME!

Ok guys...Hold the phone here while I repeat my self. You all are looking at old NEWS here...date in the SST map said 18th, this is the 19th and by the time you looked at it, I'd bet that it was at least a few hours old and has probably moved to the north with this south west wind were having. As I have said in the past you need to look at them each day so you know the path the currents are going, keep an eye on the wind as this has much effect on it also. Then there is the jet stream, which will influence the movement...look at the big picture first. As far as what the picture says, I think that Box is pretty much on the money as to your starting point, but you needed to be there yesterday. I would start at the 272 and work on the 50F. line. Most likely I'll work to the north as I feel that the hard break will be moving that way with this Sw wind were having and I'm thinking that this finger may move back off shore with the upper level winds that are pushing that way...
