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,

Ah the joys of fall fishing  

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.

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,

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

Sure, I have a boat cover, but that holds moisture in as well as it keeps it out !

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,

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.

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
