Hurricane Effects

[Spankey]

Guys I’d never downplay the possible severity of the East Coast hurricane in the works. Be safe, stay safe. Hope no one suffers any damage. 
 

I’m hoping it rejuvenates the bass bite some on the lake. Bring down water temp some, possibly oxignate the water some. 
 

Have not got hit yet. Mid Atlantic area is tomorrow Tuesday. Sort of looking forward to it’s passing. Somehow going to get Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Hope it brings them up shallower and puts them on structure. River will be wrecked and will be no place to be on.  
 

Odd situation yesterday. Had myself Prepped up, hooked up and ready to roll. Never got out in the am. A few areas out my way were hit with flash flooding, strong winds and tornado warning over lake. 
 

In all, maybe the passing of these fronts will spark a good bite. Be safe.

New Jersey angler here, I was thinking the same thing, hasn't been great here either for the past two weeks. We had a nasty heatwave roll in a week and a half ago and it killed the fishing basically, we're expected to get this rain either tomorrow or Wednesday, I'm really hopping it brings a sense of "fresh air" back to the fishing here. Some parts of our state are considered to be "abnormally dry" because of the lackluster rain. 

 

One of My local lakes has had it's water lowered because of this and I hope the storm brings it back up to pre summer levels.

We are basically in the same neighborhood. I’m just gonna keep optimistic. Actually can’t wait till October on the river. I love that time.

Now that you say that, up here in Maine, I've noticed that a bit as well since the start of this heat.

Guy all I can say is it’s raining its butt off here @ 7:00am on Tuesday morning. Gonna get interesting only the start of it.

I have lived through Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Wilma, and many more in the +3 decades I have lived in South Florida. As long as you prepare well in advance and take the hurricane seriously you should be ok. As for fishing I have caught lots of nice fish before and after a hurricane passing.

I hope you guys faired up well with the passing of the hurricane. My property damage way very minimal compared to others in my area. My trees are huge old oaks, 250 years old or more. I can prepare to a certain degree but after that it’s up to Mother Nature. Will make a few minor repairs after work today. 
 

Hope y’all can get back on the water soon. The river will be off limits for quite awhile. The lake should of held up fine. Will find out in a few days. 
 

Be safe.

Because of all the rain, look for flowing water and choke points where water goes around objects, like boulders, weed islands, or extended points.  Bass will position in the eddies around these choke points.

Hurricane side effects? Hangover more often than not, some aversion to light and sound, grouchy attitude, poor decision making ability...oh, wait, the other kinda hurricane...

 

Seriously though, be safe all you east coast types

We needed this storm in NJ... hopefully the water cooled down because of the rain and the bite picks up again. Not only that but some parts of our state needed the rain.

Generally, and this is just my experience, it seems to have a similar effect as a spring pressure front moving through. You're in a stable weather pattern, fish are biting OK, and along comes a major low pressure. Fish will usually do a lot better in front of it than behind it. You get those bluebird skies and the temps and humidity drop. You think it's great weather. It's a welcome relief. But the fish don't respond the same. Not that there are any absolutes. They get over summer fronts better than spring fronts.

We are suppose to get some heavy hitters in over the next few days. Nothing hurricane like. I hope so, rain proved to be a good weekend for grandsons and I. The lake was noticeably higher. Condition of water was better than I had expected. But than again it must effect different parts differently. I was catching fish basically off the bank Saturday. Sunday in less than 8 ft of water. They were feeding on bluegills. For me my fishing has taken an up tick. Dog days or no dog day I’ll take it.
