Another Spell of East Wind Weather

A stalled out pattern has put the area under another spell of E wind weather.  The thing I noticed when I was down south, like in southern North Carolina or Florida, is that you can have an onshore wind and the waves will build up, and then the waves can get smaller while the wind is still onshore.  That's a southern thing, to have a windswell drop under remaining onshore wind.  In the Mid-Atlantic, since weather is supposed to be based more on extratropical cyclones, the wind will usually change direction as the cyclone moves through, so that the peak of the swell will usually occur with a changing wind direction, and the swell will drop under a different wind, usually westerly.  Since there isn't really a cyclone moving through right now, with the weather being more of a 'flow', a southern thing, the wind will likely linger from the E and the swell will drop under it, like this is Georgia.

Another junky E spell means junky fishing conditions are likely in the local area.

I'm not saying it's not possible, but I've never gone up after three days of E wind and nailed giant bass and blues in brown water with seaweed, casting over a swell pounding on the bar.  The nice thing is high pressure is finally moving in and the lingering low clouds have cleared out, so at least the everlasting junky ocean will look prettier under a sunny sky.  The rain stops, the weather clears up, and the winds stays the same direction.  If I wanted to live with lame weather like that I'd move to Barbuda- E trade winds again, chance of showers, E trade winds again, again, again. 

I did get word today from a master of data that the fish did come in and they came in good, on Tuesday.  Things like 'I was a few blocks away and missed it' and 'He had three lures tangled up in his line' and 'He said it was epic' was the summary.  Sounds like that pesky thing the spring bass can do, coming in and tearing up one area, leaving the people dry who are putting time in, while a crowd swarms and casts lines on top of each other.  It sometimes happens like that, but I was told the people who got it had a great event with numerous big fish over a span of hours.  Even though I can't remember where I was that day, I'm glad it at least happened somewhere.  I don't really feel bad about missing a bass bite if it's not in 'my area'.  If that was in my backyard and I missed it, I'd be sore about it, unless I was working which is my only time to relax from fishing.

The conclusion is that the spell of E wind is not the best, but not the worst since the fish have been around and the waves aren't likely to get huge, just a moderate 2-3-4ft.  I am holding no hope, which ensures that I will not be disappointed.
