Perchmaster February 25, 2009 at 12:20 am I had to wonder how a storm like this effects the fishing?Very good question and it all depends where your fishing or even what part of the country.I have been on Lake Michigan and the fishing is hot and heavy only to have a major front like that come through and the fishing just drops off to nothing.I have been on Eagle and the same thing you are hammering the fish and WAM nothing after that, but you might be able to get a few to bite after a front like that if you head to deeper waters.I have seen it before musky fishing and they are not bothered by it but then next time you won’t see a musky for a couple of day’s.I am sure Gord will have an opinion on this and it might be like I am trying to say it all depends on what species your fishing for and what lake.My opinion is on a major front like this if and when you can get back on the water you might want to try deeper water if your fishing for walleye.

Weather is like a box of Chocolates… You never know whatyour gonna get?No! I didn't throw Diane's hat in the lake.The wind did that… It was slow fishing for the rest of that day. I took more pictures with my camera of the sceneryChuck in Toronto
Andy Lewis March 5, 2009 at 1:11 am Chuck, After experiencing something like this, I think I would be ready for a “Dark ‘N Stormy”. A highball style cocktail popular in many British Commonwealth countries, such as Australia and Bermuda. It consists of dark rum and ginger beer over ice. The local rum is usually used, for example, Bundaberg in Australia or Goslings in Bermuda.
