Hurricane Erin Fishing Effects

[Detour66]

It certainly will have an effect on them. They will most likely put on the feed bag and start to move out of the bays and rivers! Will they leave for the season. I don't think so but who knows! It just sux another prime time week of fluke fishing down the drain due to unfishable weather conditions. But that's fishing!

Fingers crossed that this isn’t the blow that pushes the migration to offshore. I remember a few years ago, a big blow came through just as the fluke were heading out and pushed the fish back into the bays and creeks. The hot bite was actually inside the sailboats in Keyport.
Anyone else remember that?

too many factors to jump to any conclusion.lets see what the storm does first.these fish are in 20-80ft of water and 10 miles long.

Fluking out of Manasquan Inlet the fluking has been near the Seagirt and Axel reefs. Fluke may go back up the inlet into the bay to wait it out. Maybe

Do you think it's worth surf fishing this weekend with bait?

Fishing for Stripers with all the broken clams on the beach would be your best bet.

Think OP said he was going this weekend so Gerry comment on fishing clams for Stripers would be aligned with his schedule

Betty and Nick’s fishing report says that there are 1 to 3’ rollers in the Seaside surf. Fake news.
