It appears that Katrina is going to move through as a tropical storm well west of New England, but will generate some significant winds Wednesday into Wednesday night. How do you think this will effect the fishing for Friday and through the weekend? Any changes in the normal patterns expected? I'm assuming that the SW will tend to clear up the beaches which have been dirty around Truro.

Just curious if you more "seasoned" veterans are going to change your approach following the storm.

I haven'tseen the "latest reports" but what I saw showed the storm over in Ohio , etc. I think that's far enough away not to worry about it.


This time of year the thing i worry about relative to storms and fishing is that the heavy winds , etc will break up the bait pods that have formed up so well. If this happens , its takes about a week or so for them to form up again and sometimes thay don't form up right close to shore.

nyway , i worry about the bait. the bass will follow it.

In the past I have noticed great action after a bad storm, don't know how much this girl will effect our water though....

Gas up now.

I gassed the truck up this morning. On the way home the price had risen 19 cents a gallon :uhoh:

You got that right!

New moon weekend and the weather is supposed to be perfect.I can't wait.
Hopefully hang in there for a late nighter Fri. and take my women Sat. as she's really wanting to get into some fish.

I'm on vacation for the week down in Mattapoisett. Fishing has been great all week for stripers and blues, though mostly blues. Even took a ride to the canal this afternoon and bass/blues were breaking on top for 4 hrs between west end and herring run. Didn't have the motivation to try any further east since they were busting bait all along the shore literally. Gonna try some shore fishing since the seas are a little toobig for the boat right now.

So far so good up here on the North Shore. Was at Cranes beach early evening. AN acre of bass feeding about 300 yards off shore in the main channel the entire time I was there... The lee side of the islands have continued to hold fish as well.... Will know more in the AM...

The wind down my way is hawkin!

I really can't wait for this weekend!

It's pretty grim off Newport right now, really dirty water. It's too rough for almost anything except bottle plugs and metal but they always come in with debris on them anyways.

I'm taking a few days off...

Same story where I was in SoCo last night; made 30 casts, 28 were weedy; went home...
if tonight is still weedy, tommorow might be golden

The water is already cleaning out and the fishing is picking right back up around here. I'll be out there tonight. 2 to 4ft waves are forecasted, it could be a real nice evening.
