With a name like Hurricane Bob...well,,,,,ya came to the right place. It's been my experience that as a storm is brewing, or a front is approaching, things start to slow down. Looks to me like this weekend is expected to be rainy off and on, with some thunder boomers pitched in. The bad news is as each storm builds or approaches, things may quiet down. the good news is after a storm hits, there's invariably a rise in pressure, some times small, sometimes right after the storm begins to clear, sometimes awhile after the storm has passed. I've had my best luck right after a storm passes, and as the clearing is going on, even if just between storms. That's part of the reason I seek out bad weather to launch in, especially when there's the promise of either clearing, or if there looks to be a trend of occasional storms blowing through over a given period.

This is also why I tend to have a hard time finding fishing buddies. They have learned "BOB" and "DRY" do no occupy the same boat for long.
