    Posted on November 3, 2020 A better forecast for tomorrow Though yesterday s gale was supposed to drop down after midnight, it was still blowing fairly hard early in the morning and was enough to discourage boat fishermen as there were no reports. That should change tomorrow as the forecast is for southwest at 5-10 knots until it increases to 10-15 with gusts to 20 knots in the afternoon.

    Our group of anglers who make our livings in the sportfishing world don t like to troll and didn t want to fish bunkers as every year at this time we ve ben able to do our favorite thing with Erwin by casting lures for big bass. Not only is casting the most satisfying way to fish, but it s also perfect for release fishing as the bass aren t harmed at all and can even be quickly sent on their way without taking them out of the water.
