DeeMonee Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) Had to be up in MoCo for work tonight. Gave it a shot afterwards. End of outgoing into the flip. Fishable conditions. The storm really flattened out the stretch I hit. No weed, left to right sweep but manageable with heavier jigs/lures. Skunk but nice to be out to wet a line. Wind dies down tomorrow evening, let’s see how the water looks. Edited October 5, 2022 by DeeMonee Dhirsch, adams54 and Whortleberry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with this storm really close to us, the fetch is short so as soon as the wind comes down so will the surf. By Sunday, it will be Lake Atlantic. Keep an eye on the wind and surf! Somebody want to explain "fetch"? Is that like short period swells? adams54 1 "Can You Hear Me, Doctor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With offshore slated to start tomorrow and continue through the weekend, we may see the water clean up a bit more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigdeal Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 I'd say fishable by Saturday ........hope so. adams54 1 "Law enforcement’ is not something sovereign citizens seize from police officers.

Fetch is the length of water in which wind blows over that length. so yes, a short fetch typically produces a short period swell.

Yup, and im sure the fish have been feeding right thru this blow. Just not as susceptible to lures until conditions clear a bit.

JimK Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, Ed White said: Somebody want to explain "fetch"? Is that like short period swells? Basically echoing what @sjsurf2014said.. a storm further away could cause the wind to blow from the NE over 300 Miles of water, while a nearby storm might only cause the wind to blow over only 100 miles of water.. long 300 mi. fetch vs. short 100 mi. Fetch. The wave period refers to how quickly one wave follows another. However, I always equated short period swells with strong winds, not necessarily the fetch. Long period swells are usually caused by a distant storm and may occur with no wind on the beach at all. .. any scientific types care to chime in? Gonna be a couple more days until reports are posted anyway. Sorry for the font size.. I don't know how that happened..
