Super User BassinLou Posted August 25, 2012 Super User Posted August 25, 2012 I was geared up and good to go today. I was also excited to deliver a great fishing report tonight. Unfortunately Issac has different plans. We have been put on hurricane watch down here in South FL. High winds and an aluminum boat do not go well so i decided to cancel our trip and try again next weekend. Hopefully, this system does not dump too much water in the area because the bass in the glades will venture out of the canals and into the flats for a while. Hope the rest you of you guys around the country do well this weekend. Quote
1234567 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I saw the east coast was getting hit with rain from the outer bands last night already?? Today would be a good day for us to be out and I considered it, but the conditions on Lake O would probably be to rough for my little boat to handle on the main lake. Quote
topwaterrob Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I was gonna head out as well but thought better of it after looking at the radar......... The water is already up and we're expecting 10"..... Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 26, 2012 Super User Posted August 26, 2012 Over the last few days I've seen the water get really high in the canals and ponds and the storm has gotten here yet. This morning (Sunday) I went to the inlet for some tarpon fishing, first time I have ever seen the park gated and closed. I stopped by a spot in the ICW to cast for some snook, the water level is as high as I have seen and this was the outgoing tide, the tide was actually being pushed back by the wind. If this storm hits at high tide we are going to have a problem. It's a bit calmer inland where I live, 8 miles from the ocean, heading out now to bass fish but it's going to rain on and off all day.

HookSetDon Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks Isaac, we flew in yesterday.. sitting on the couch now insight of the beach getting pounded! perfect vacation weather right Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 X2!!! I had to cancel my Lake Osborne/Ida trip today.. oh well. I might try to do a lil shoreline fishing later. Until than I will just watch fishing shows. FLW is on now and BASS has live weigh-ins on the web at 4pm. Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 I happen to have access to a nice pond on my work's property, so if Tuesday morning school is cancelled I'm going to fish tomorrow night after I get off. Bank fishing should be safe enough, lol. Is it even possible to catch bass right before weather like this? Or should I just go home and sleep? Quote

The fish in my avatar was picked up a day or so before beryl came through. There is a Jacksonville thread where me and jaxbasser posted some nice fish during the pouring rain of Debbie. The pond he was fishing was spilling out into the road. After that the bite was dead for two weeks. Watch for the pressure drop. Quote
