Don't you hate it when this happens ??? :-(

Geeez, I swear, the weather for today and the last two, has been absolutely gorgeous ! Low 70's, hardly a cloud, no WIND ! Just as nice as it gets. So my days off are Mon, Tues, and Weds...... I checked the weather just now, and it calls for 20 to 40% chance of rain, mostly cloudy, and winds increasing, for Mon, Tues, and Weds :-( ........ but go figure, its supposed to be getting nice again by Thursday, my first day back to work :-( :-( :-(

Time to break out the Frog Toggs I guess.

Anyway, as long as I can stick a pig, I guess it won't be so bad ;-)

Peace,

Fish

Ah the joys of fall fishing  

[rfrazier]

Sounds like typical bay area fisherman weather. It's nice when you can't fish and crappy when you can, but you still go anyways.

Thats rough, but atleast you havent had a cold front go through every Friday for the past month and trashed weekend fishing. Could always be worse. lol

dang man, I'd take a cloudy rainy day over a sunny bluebird day every time...just seems like the fish around here are more active when it's cloudy and windy or rainy.

[Fish Chris]

Hey Basspro, their have been times in my life when I felt like that too..... But up here in Nor Cal, along with almost every front, comes WIND ! Often BIG WIND which when it confronts a big tide head on, can make things flat dangerous, let alone miserable to try to fish in.

Throw in the fact that my boat is carpeted.... So I get it soaked, and it stays soaked until we have some more warm, sunny weather to dry it out ! Sure, I have a boat cover, but that holds moisture in as well as it keeps it out ! Totally sucks not having covered boat storage :-(

And finally, at least for our Stripers and Stugeon, I haven't seen any improvement in the bite, due to bad weather.

Peace,

Fish

Wind against tide is no fun but FC, who are you kidding, it doesn't rain out there!! ;D 8-)

Put a vent or two in it...

my boat cover has a couple of vents sewn into it already, not to mention, it is the type that has the big opening in front of the motor.... although I actually hate that, as it lets more water in than anything else (when covered I mean).....

Then, to make matters worse, my truck is just a bit too low, so that any water that gets into the back of my boat there runs all the way down to the bow and just pools there :-( Of course I can always disconnect it from the truck, and jack it up..... but then I might not have a boat the next morning :-(

Like I said, I just HATE rain, and not having covered storage :-(

Oh well.....

Hey LBH, only in the Winter, when its already cold and damp, and nothing wants to dry out.......

I think I just need to go stick a big Striper to make everything "all better" :-)

Peace,

Fish

Today is my one day off this week too. I was going to go fish Lafayette, but not too sure anymore. Today says 70% of rain, and tomorrow 20%. I could always call in, but I'm not prepared to work today, I'm tired.

To go or not to go.

[deepsessions]

rain isn't a problem for me, but when you mix rain & wind on the Delta in open water I hear you  it's pretty scary and I'm sure not a nice ride in your smaller boat!

I got out today for a few hours ...it was nothin' compared to fridays rain....I lost an ipod AND a phone due to the rain that day...pretty bummed since they were in my gore-tex jacket
