How to Fish a Hurricane ?

This is one time when fishing in the day time will be more productive then fishing at night at least in the surf.

Hurricane Bob Aug 16 1991. We fished the day after the storm at Deep Hole and CRUSHED fish. This was right after the moritorium so a 30# fish made headlines. We had fish in the 40s!!!
Water was still up and the rollers were huge but if you jumped the waves you could fish. I remember getting knocked down a dozen times but the fishing was so good we didn't care.

Current forecast looks to make for some good fishing with big tides and building surf for Saturday's North Shore Leg out of Plum Island......

large bottle plugs????
maybe a 3-4 oz.bank sinker with 4 foot leader attached to a redgill/teaser...

Probably the smartest thing you can do is write down your next-of-kin info on your forearm with a permanent marker for this swell that's coming - unless you can find semi-sheltered water...
