Northeast Saltwater Reports: August 2008 Archives

Marine Synopsis:

A weak low will slowly lift northeast from off the New Jersey coast this morning...to the Gulf of Maine by this evening. A strong cold front will slowly approach from the west Friday night and Saturday...then cross the tri-state Saturday night. Weak high pressure will build in from the southwest Sunday and Sunday night. An Alberta clipper system will then approach from the west Monday...and drag its trailing cold front through the region Monday night. Canadian high pressure then builds in for the middle of the week.

Fishing Report:

 The National Weather Service has issued a small craft advisory this afternoon. Despite poor weather the fall fishing on the Eastern shore continues to be good. As fish continue to migrate along the shore some of the keys to intercepting them are: locate schools of birds, coordinate fishing times with good tidal movement, and as always find that bait. This is the time of year when most anglers have had their fill of schoolies and are ready to try to catch that trophy. Big strippers like to eat big baits so if you want to tangle with the monsters throw flies that the little guys have to pass on. Good Luck this weekend and Tight Lines
