Some good info here but there is an exception to the passing of the front/rising barometer/hard NW wind = lousy fishing.

In the fall, deepwater inlets that empty shallow back bays can be phenomenal under those conditions.

The NW wind brings cold air and the short chop that develops on the back bays cools the water very quickly. This either moves bait to the warmer, more stable water of the inlet or it flushes the bait out of the back bay on into the ocean and on towards its fall migration. I've seen IRI choke with mullet, spot and 'nuts during those times.

Give me a snot s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&' blue norther in mid-fall and I'll have good fishing.
