Rain, Cold, Wind Cool Off Fishing

Here's a nice fish from yesterday. Fishing has gone downhill
in the cold and nasty weather.

Things were going well until this nasty weather hit.  The cold northeast winds, low temperatures and rain put the skids on the good April fishing that we had been enjoying. Nothing new, we've seen this pattern many times before as good early season striper fishing is often dictated by favorable weather.
In all this bad weather I was still fishing.  I was catching a few fish in both the Bay and along the oceanfront, but numbers were off.
With better weather on the way, I suspect we'll be back in the groove by the upcoming weekend.
