Has noaa be correct with their forcast lalely?

[MudDucker]

No sir, not that I could tell.

[dolphinatic]

[Fisherman989]

This Wednesday the official forcast for in shore was, "gentle winds out of the NNE" for St Marks Ent.
WellI went with this forcast and went trout fishing. The winds were streight out of the south..and borderline rough.
NOOA hasn't got it right in a long time.
But...there is a storm out there.
Beware.

After moving all over to get away from the red tide, watched the breakers at the mouth of Indian Pass. Looked like the Atlantic. Not much wind, but a lot of wave action. Also, not much fish catching

[1-850-Bay-Fish]

did you try up in the lagoon ? Boy the wind blew 25 here at the house pretty much all day. And I was cold !

[MudDucker]

Yes sir, we fished up the lagoon and all around several oyster bars. Saw fish moving, but very few bites. The wind wasn't too bad there on Saturday, but I sure wasn't interested in going Sunday when it was whipping.

[1-850-Bay-Fish]

we fished big bayou did good, but I didnt see anyone in there. Did see a boat or two on the bars comeing back. Sunday was nasty but got a report from muskeeman said they got up in crooked Island and did well with trout, reds and spanish. It figures to I was in there a few days before and landed spainish and small gruper all the reds we saw were floating tits up.

[MudDucker]

I was headed to Crooked Island and was told by the fellow at Half Hitch that the red tide had really rolled in there the day before.

Didn't see you in the Panga, we were in a 23 carolina skiff.

[1-850-Bay-Fish]

Thats funny Bill at half hitch is the one that gave up the spot where they got all there fish The red did come in but along the outside beach and some on the west end . They fished all the way east davis landing area .

[MudDucker]

Now that's funny (bout like a sore tooth). We all debated whether that guy was full of it or not and decided to trust him. He said his friend say 1000's of dead fish there. Just can't trust a fisherman's fishing report
