Thread: Anybody wnat to guess?

Those are exceptional memories.
Unfortunately most of these events just mess the water (and fishing) for a week or so, but as stated each one is unique.

I well remember those grouper---after a day or two, the bottom dropped out of the grouper market, but I sure had a fine time catching them. Caught two in my crab trap in Terry Cove, and still don't know they got in there they were so big.

Unfortunately, I also remember some tropical events that happened during the period I was chartering that seemed to empty the Gulf of everything except hard head catfish, but there were plenty of them to go around---You'd pull up to a spot and the fathometer would black out from all the fish, looking like you'd just found the mother lode of snapper, but then it was all whisker, spines and slime.

keep on with the good luck stories guys. Almost have the wife convinced to leave Tuesday night so we can start fishing Wed. morning before we even get in the condo!!!!

#r speaketh the truth. It is usually good in front of the storm, and muddy conditions afterwards. How long it takes to clear is very hard to predict.

I don't remember which storm it was but it was in '95 I think - three storms that summer? Got down to check the property after one of them while TS winds were still gusting. Don't remember what we were catching but I remember everyone out there was pretty much non-stop bowed up.

One affect (of the front) will be a dramatic drop in water temp (about 5 degrees).
That in of itself should spark a good bite!

Can't help you man. My crystal ball is broke and in the shop for repairs............................
