The fish haven't started that feed yet and I think this storm is almost too early for them to start the offshore migration. I think mid to tail end of next week assuming there's no additional storms pushing north the fish will put the feedbag back on and feed heavy for a few weeks before moving off. If we get additional storms, everything will be accelerated.
Yeah the forecast for several days after the storm is no picnic either... Turning to South and cranking late Friday through Sunday and getting back to normal on Monday settling down some and changing to out of the west... Beach striper fishing should be great though.. Lots of clams on the beach and we know they love the snot...
