Whats your experience offshore following a tropical storm? Im sure with the direction its going to come through there will be lots of debris pushed out into the water. I know I won’t be leaving in the dark for sure. Bottom bite Ive been told is better and trolling is worse.
I was curious as well.
We were planning on trolling Saturday, but will probably push to Sunday or Monday, to be safe.
Any advice or tips for post storm?
Not good.
Never had much luck in FL after hurricanes. Seemed to mess the bottom up pretty well.

You all just stay home then. I’ll catch all your fish…

I’ve read in fishing magazines including Florida Sportsman that on the gulf coast, any time a hurricane come ashore bottom fish like grouper also move inshore, sometimes to extremely shallow water. Once after a near miss hurricane, I went king fishing with my uncle in 50ft of green water and caught a 67-lb wahoo trolling a bally on a wireline rod. Boats from Edisto to Savannah did well trolling immediately after Hugo. Your experience may vary, but I think a storm passing ‘jumpstarts’ a bite.

Think I am going to try it tomorrow even though it’s starting to look a little more rough. Looking forward to the post storm bite. Any thoughts? Anybody else going?

Also, signature is not the current boat, not sure why still shows up.
Leaving at 0500, heading to 120 ft , north of the 41004. Waves from the NNE, may head south to 110 based on comfort.
If today was an indicator… then bottom was worse!
