storm = no more fish to spear ????

any of you old salts got a prediction on what will be around to shoot after the weather passes?

I hope the tog come back or stay in a not so deep depth for a couple more weeks after this crap blows by.

Still lots of bass moving through. Saw quite a few Saturday at Sachuest Pt. even though this viz was tough and Sunday morning there were schools feeding way up in the bay on the Swansea / Warren line. I'm sure the storm held some more in and we can take them on their way out. C'mon Viz

Huge barometer changes usually make bass go to way deeper water, which i suspect this is exactly what has happened. However, togs still around for the taking.... Now all you need is to find some viz and a cooler filler with hot water....

Re: storm = no more fish to spear ????

I doubt you will see anything for at least another 4-5 days, and even then you may not. The amount of sand that was taken from Westerly beaches alone would keep the visibility gritty for a month. This one wasn't a simple windy spell, the water was tore up.

Looking off the dock at Roger Williams it looked to be about 6'+ of vis but I haven't jumped in yet.

Re: storm = no more fish to spear ????

I was rigging the stern of a 23.5' sailboat at 16' depth and had no problem seeing the front hatch Green but great viz! I was eyeballing the scallops as I worked !!
