Storms, wind and rain. Not looking good  for the "home team" today. Maybe cooling off tonight. Will be watching tomorrows forecast all day.

Its raining here. and its a cold rain. moved my bass out of my holes.

Glad i didnt waist the 400 dollars for the tournament today. all the patterns would have been out the window today.

You've got a deal Derrick....can you get out today or weather a factor...We're socked in all day......I'm hopeful for a few hours tomorrow.....Good luck when you get back out there!

Comment by Derrick Bustle on March 3, 2012 at 6:03am

Those are beautiful beds..You fish the beds ill fish about 7-10 feet away and catch the Bass waiting to eat your bluegill

Historically we count down to Good Friday/Easter in the Albemarle section of North Carolina for the beginning of productive bluegill fishing......Ponds and little lakes will warm up faster than the rivers, reservoirs and sounds but it appears by the current trend that fish will cooperate sooner, most likely mid to late March......Right now it takes great patience and knowledge of water temperatures and depths in your body of water...With the day to night swings in air temperatures right now....fish will be in different depths during a particular day......Slow presentations will work better in water temperatures below 60 degress.....Example given, the fish I caught in the final days of February on a crank bait struck the bait on a slow fall........In my opinion, we will not see many Coppernose until water temperatures are holding above 58 degrees........In summary.....it will not be long now in Eastern North Carolina..........

Saturday looks like a BBG.com day and Sunday will require evaluation early in the morning to see.....Little drizzle is one thing, t-storms and heavy winds...no thanks!

Comment by Steve Crowder on March 2, 2012 at 12:02pm

Been looking at the weather forcast all morning Jeffrey. Sunday maybe, but the winds again....

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on March 2, 2012 at 9:50am

I here that Steve, it's suppose to go down hill overnight here and tomorrow is a wash out.....Social outing tonight and hopefully back on the fish Sunday if the cold front doesn't sit on us....The fish I caught yesterday could have been taken on a surface fly, the insect activity was intense and the fish frenzy followed....

Glad to see your enjoying the fine east coast of North Carlina Jeffrey. Looks like you are really having fun down there. Woke up to thunder and lighting this morning. Will have to wait until another day to go fishing. 

Comment by Jeffrey D. Abney on March 2, 2012 at 9:25am

You're right Carlton...I do the same but I always Purge my blue crabs with table salt before cooking and that helps some. But early season they will have grit in the meat from being buried up..These were some jumbos I ran into late last Summer..They were piled in an area and we worked on them for a couple weeks.....
