We needed a good NE blow, but this might be a little much. HUGE surf that's going build for the next week, lots of rain. Water is already weeded up along most of the coast and we're not even a day into this pattern.
That being said, some places should be stacked with fish in the next 2 days/nights. If you have an opportunity to fish today/tonight, I would definitely take advantage of it before this storm shuts things down for a bit.
As far the bait is concerned, so there's so much of it this year that I don't think it's going to matter. We still have at least 3 big moon phases to look forward to where bait will still be dumping out bays and estuaries. My buddy made a good point last night that this storm will push out all the bait that's tight against rocks. I think that could end up being a good thing once things settle down.
Now, if we get a series of line storms like we did a few years back, then I will be really concerned. Those storms put an end to that season. Good luck!
