The storm warnings seem to be coming one after another in NY/NJ Bight, and the latest is from 4 p.m. to late tonight .

By morning it’s down to southwest at 25-30 knots plus gusts to 40 and a chance of showers. The seas will be fine for surfers at 11 to 16 feet.

Striper Day will run from 8;30 to 2:30 on Sunday, January 14 at Ward Melville H.S. in East Setauket, Long Island. Admittance is $15, with kids under 12 at no charge.

In contrast to our weather problems, there’s Guatemala, where calm seas are the norm and Pacific sailfish. are abundant. Jake Jordan runs his fly fishing for sailfish schools there every winter, as his clients catch lots of sails weighing about twice as much as the Atlantic version on 20-pound tippet.
