Trident stay they hand!

Please???????  I am finally getting a chance to get up north this weeknd, been planning for weeks.  ANd now the Weather is going to crap for me.  Saturday forecast (from weather.com)
Wind speed 22 mph
Sea State Rough

Near Costal Forecast: Sat North Winds 20-30 kt Nw 14 ft at 11 seconds. 

Swell info was a little better with waves in the morning from 5-7 feet and choppy, 5-8 feet in the afternoon.

My quest for a first Ling seems to ellude me every time I get near water.
