Long story short, I was supposed to go snapper fishing on my father's boat. Well, he just called and said he's having serious engine issues and this weekend is a no go for offshore fishing on his boat.


I have an 18' bay boat and feel confident in the boat/engine.

Should I play it safe and stay inshore and chase after trout/reds?
Try to venture out to some of the closer rigs near GI?
Stay at home and cut grass?


The weather looks great, 1 footers, should be lots of boats out in case something happens, and I've taken my little bay boat on some 60 plus mile round trips out of Venice to the barrier islands. Should I risk it?

I'd feel a little uneasy offshore but that's opinion I guess. It is a good weekend to try if you were ever going to though.

I'd go to the close rigs, but that's just me.

Make sure your radio and batteries are good, prep the engine, have at it if the water is friendly.
