After all hell broke loose at my house last week as far as weather goes, I decided to once again to get out on the water. After a week of warm daytime temps in the 70s, I knew the bass had to be in prespawn. Like 2 weeks ago the bass had been in prespawn at the local club lake but the weather had turned to sh-t by the time my school schedule allowed me some time to fish! ;( Even in Palmdale they had rain and hail over the weekend, and over here in the mountain boondocks we got some snow! Which of course sent the bass straight back into the depths and screwed up any chance of catching anything soon...
The storm ended being more sh-t talk than anything and blew high pressure and bright blue skies around till like Tuesday x( .
The last 4 days were awesome weather, and the fish finally started to hit again! :) Got to the local club lake @ 4:15 to shore fish till dark, and like my 3rd cast I end up sticking a 3 lber. on a chart spinnerbait next to little tule point! I saw bass cruising aorund but the water still seemed a bit cooler than it should've been. But I only ended up with one more hookup on a jig later on, but he was a small guy and got off. I had several more bites on the jig but I missed them on the set. :o Not a stellar day but improving, right? Hell no! Supposedly tomorrow and next week a big a$$ storm off the Pineapple Express is rollin' in and bringin' like 10" of moisture with it! Why can't the weather just stay good for me???

Bass + Fisherman= BAASS ADDICTT!!!

I like the weather being all messed up, the longer the water stays cool the longer the big fish will bite.

Yea, I agree. I don't think the fish will be biting for a good week or two after this storm. :(

Hey dockboy, Im not sure where you are located. My local forcast here on the northcoast of CA. is calling for 7 days of wind and rain. to me that means that the fishing should be at least fair if not good. Don't let the wind and rain keep you off the water. you might be suprised at how good the fishing can be in the nastiest weather.
Fishing durring a wet and windy storm can be a lot like night fishing. you can get away with heavy line and big baits. and often have the lake all to your self. I am looking forward to getting out a couple of times this week to take advantage of what I consider to be excelent fishing weather. low barometer, dark skys, temps. in the mid 50's-low 60's, 10-15 southwind. Thats what Im talkin' bout. I gotta go fishin'. Stay safe and dry but dont stay home.:-)

Yeah, it looks as though NoCal is getting the wind and crap off this storm. You see, I'm down about an 1 hr. northwest of L.A. We usually end up with the winds but this storm is missing you guys up there and coming down on the southern currents. At the present moment it's pouring down, and we already have a couple inches and it only started today. I was thinking, the fishing would be good today bcz the sky is dark and the wind is just about nill. But I'd no time today to get out on the water. I think the local club lake will probably turn a bit stained and colder after the storm, so the fishing will probably be only so-so. Even though this is a fairly warm storm for winter, the runoff will bring down the water temps a few degrees, porbably back down to around 47-50 degrees.

Cold and muddy. Yeah sounds like the bite could be a little slow. I dont think I'd skip school to fish in those conditions. Although a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at school.:)
