Surf fishing west of Lil Florida Beach this weekend. Forecast?
Thanks,

As for the weather it doesn't look too bad.. the current prediction is for a north wind between now and then, sometimes gusty. Some high pressure moving in wednesday and thursday should be easing off on saturday. As long as the pressure subsides a little I'd say the HollyBeach rocks should be at least fishable on saturday.

have fun. Flounder should start running in the channel as well.. but it's a little early for that.

Think that cool weather will have a negative impact on this fishing this weekend?

High pressure during post frontal conditions can have a negative effect on fishing. However, these early season fronts can be ok. It really just depends on the circumstances. You could find a marsh dumping water with tons of bait and the fish out from of it are going mad and gorging until the current stops. That would be the best case scenario. Much of the time the high pressure will kill the current (especially the incoming tide) and therefore the bite will be dead as well. Some say that high barometer shouldn't kill the bite or affect the fish because even a 1 foot move in the water column is a larger pressure increase than the fish experience with a drop in barometer from a moderate to strong cold front, but for what ever reason fishing is almost always tougher on post frontal days (8 hours after the wind shifts to north and gusty with dropping temperature). From then until the time the barometer start to drop (usually day 3 or 4) is the toughest.

Redfish are less susceptible to pressure change than trout, but like I said above it can affect the current and that may affect certain redfish spots. If I could only go after a frontal passage I would fish deeper areas that are protected from the north wind and fish them slowly and meticulously along the bottom where there is structure.

Hope that helps,
