Boom!

Spot on for here, 30.12"

A few streamers moving thru the lakes region

You either leave happy with a buzz, Or you leave pretty intoxicated............

These have had surprises over the past years once they hit the Atlantic they can develop rapidly.

18z Nam really blows this low up towards DE Maine down to 987mb dropping a foot there, May watch this to see if this can happen a bit sooner in the next 24hrs, That would at least get some accumulating snow further west but as of now, Its a bit to late for most, Nothing else better to do.........lol

Can tell what type of yr its been so far when you really need the Reggie and the HRRR to be right.

Won't see another once in 20yr IVT for a bit here, But GYX does have a map out, DE Maine jack AWT.

Much better actually i think, I eat both, Cut the bodies, Cut off the heads clean and rinse, Recipe is simple for these, 2 tbl spoons Salt, 1c Flour, I place them in a zip lock, Shake them up and fry them in cooking oil, It makes them crispy, Supermarkets or fish mkts up here will carry them in season too. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/236481/fried-smelts/

I usually hit up Bakers on the Kennebec in Pittston or James Eddy in Dresden on the Eastern River, Fished at Worthings just over the bridge in Gardiner heading back to Aug and have never done any good there, Those 3 are in the process of getting camps on, I have not fished in Bowdinham on the Cathance River for 20 yrs or so but that's where i'm going saturday, I have had good luck in the past there.

Swift kick in the nuts on the 12z Op GFS, Follow the ensembles.

Leaf blower downy flakes.

Last year got on late, Previous 2 yrs, There was no ice at all, Been many times and filled up half or a full 5 gal bucket in the past, Been many times and came back with a few or an empty bucket, Good chance we should have some luck as they tend to spawn early season, Went a few times last year but did not get on the ice until Feb and caught a few dozen, Nothing special.
