Thread: this weekend?

Is anyone going to brave the storm this weekend and fish? I'm coming down late Saturday or early Sunday and leaving Monday. maybe the fishing will be ok and we wont get blown away.

Pass.

Unfortunately, only gradual improvement forecast through the middle of next week...

The water's going to be stirred up for awhile. I'm a big believer in taking what nature has to offer and for the next few days, until later next week, it's just not looking all that great. If it's a nice day, by all means get outside and take in some fresh air and get some exercise. If there's lightning, stay inside. There's no such thing as "braving" lightning.

I have been waiting for mid-March since last spring...was more than glad to say goodbye to the speck fishing...A hot winter and wacky weather seemed to prevent Magnolia River from living up to its reputation.. Got the bigger rods rigged, boat situated..now just waiting on the first fishable day.

If I had a fishing trip planned for this weekend, I would cancel and reschedule. We've had 8' seas all week and now torrential rain plus 8' seas. Water is going to be dingy for a while.
If you are coming down just to hang out, stick your toes in the sand and enjoy a beverage, then, the weather might be decent by Sunday morning.
But fishing is gonna be messed up, I think until mid- to late week, as Pier#R already said.

Gurgle, glub, gasp, sputter. Ain't no sense in the weather being like this. Weather has been crappy since Obama took office.

I've put new line on my reels, shined my rods, sharpened my fillet knives and rearranged my tackle until I'll never find anything again. I guess I had better attend opening day of turkey season next week.

With all the fresh water that is going to be heading your way......well next week might be wishing

I might try it Tuesday. Fish the shallows with live shrimp or see if any sheepies are hanging around the octi.

I might be down next Saturday, we'll see how the weather and reports shape up.

I was hoping things might improve by then.
Maybe not...
