Fish Tales from Your President’s Perspective.
As Shakespeare wrote in his play Julius Caesar - “Beware the Ides of March”. This was a warning to Julius Caesar that bad things were to come. Sure enough on March 15 44BC he was assassinated. In the play the warning came from a fortune teller. So I went to our modern day fortune tellers and asked them to tell me of the future. This is what I was told:
Average Temperature will be: Around 65 for the first weeks of March going to 75 the latter part of the month.
Cloud Cover: From 59% March 1 to 69% March 31 (partly cloudy is what they said).
Average Wind Speed: 7mph Daily Chance of Rain: 18% Chance March 1 to 10% by March 31 (Just over an inch for the month).
Hours of Daylight: March 1 around 11 ½ hours on March 31 just over 12 ½ hours
Moon Activity: One Full Moon on March 7 and a New Moon March 21.
So I put another dollar in the machine and asked again: Tell me the future:
Fish Plant: Fish Plants will be plentiful; previously delayed plants will be rescheduled and normal plants happening on schedule
Fish Bite: Large Mouth Bass best at 7 PM and feeding over night into the Morning. Trout best bite time is 12 noon until 5pm. Bluegill and Crappie will be slow all month Catfish will be finicky best bait will be shrimp Off Shore: March is the month for White Seabass with Mako’s and Yellowtail starting to pick up. Rockfish still closed. If you get to the Coronado’s Bonito and Sheepshead seem to be the thing.
Best Fishing Days: March 1-7 and 21-31
Best Hint: Berkley Gulp Trout Nuggets they come in Chunky Chartreuse, Chunky Cheese, Orange Pulp, Rainbow Candy, and Sherbet Burst
So if you believe anything these fortune tellers say March should be pretty good but all of them say APRIL will be outstanding.
I look forward to seeing how your March goes, we have some great get togethers planned and our meeting this month has a great speaker going over custom gear and equipment maintenance. You can get more info on that later in the newsletter. See you at the meeting on March 10.
