Hurricane, Fish
As Earl heads this way, so do the bass. Last night saw schoolies and teens blitzing in the southside rocks of Browns at dusk. I would think that these fish will be feeding as long as they can.
Hey paul......during the hight of storms like Earl do bass stay close to the beach feeding and if so how long do you stick around fishing for them?....And if not how long after the storm do you wait till you go out fishing again?
Fish usually are feeding like crazy for a few days before a storm, and the day (hours) after the storm. They seldome chew DURING a big storm, as the surf is too dirty and rough. I will fish right up to the peak of a storm, or until they stop biting. On the return, as soon as the storm abates, it is time to throw 2-3oz bucktails....
paul saw that you wrote on your facebook that you could smell the fish coming into town me and my friend said the same thing when we came in weds nite, anyway do you find that hard west winds will shurt the bite down in m and why is this the case
Yes, Hard west keeps the fish off shore at the elbow where the bait will lay. It will take a south, east, Nor-east, North or Nor-west to get the fish on the beach again. This is why the summer is duldrums for bass- prevailing South west
Gee says... Paul Do you find a difference in fish behavior between a Nor’easter and hurricane? This was my first hurricane at M and saw that this produced some huge wave action compared to a Nor’easter. As you said fishing was barn-bustin the day before (not much weather to speak of) but a big bust the day of. The morning the day the storm hit was mild, big waves but clean water and not much fish. What has been your experience? Gee
Says I... Gee, the bass put on a chew during any switch to LOW BAROMETRIC PRESURE, They seem to scense it (my back certainly does!). As for a hurricane/Nor-easter... A hurricane has prevailing winds from the south, which blows the bait off shore. The water gets all mucked up, unlike a Nor-easter which prevails from the Nor-east, blowing the bait in. The waves will push bass into the Point, brown water and all. Go-figure....
Hey Paul how cold is it when you switch from your summer wetsuit to your fall one? I bought my first summer suit this year and I'm trying to see how long I have before I have to get a heavier one. Also how thick of a suit do you use?

ReplyDeleteSo, Willy Young was out there Friday and I didn't see you? What gives Melnyk, are you surfing the south side again?
Says I,
Well, that's because I am a has-been, and Willy has more energy than me 'cause he eats Viagra like they are sweet tarts!

ReplyDeleteA witch's left tit (not the right!)is how cold it is when I switch from my 5mm suit to my 7mm. The summer suit comes off (3mm) when the leaves drop.
