Weather Conditions?

[NYCitySue7@aol.com]

Hi, just wondering, since I am new to fishing, but love it more than life itself, with the storms (hurricanes) they are talking about possibly hitting the east coast, how is the fishing right before one of these babies hits? And how is the fishing right after a major storm? I know these are probably basic questions and quite boring, but I'm just trying to learn as much as I can. Hope you all can help.

Sue right before a storm the fish.....depending on the species strap on the feed bag before a big storm, when the surf is pumping and the water is dirty....the beach riddled with broken clam shells from the storm surge.....its striper time and fresh surf clams are the bait of chioce. I dont know much about the waters to the north since I fish in south Jersey but I do know that any time you have a line in the water you have a chance.....and that beats the hell out of wishin you were fishin

surfcasting an east facing beach in a northeaster is *awesome*.
