TC, I'm debating a weekend fishing trip in Orange Beach but it checked the weather and it's looking iffy. What do think the weather is going to do this weekend?
When you ask "hows the weather" regarding saltwater fishing what you mean and I what I look for are probably two totally different things. I assume you mean rain, storms, etc...
Thats a secondary concern to me. I first check the tides and wind forecast. The tides looks awesome for this weekend, strong, high and moving well. They will hit high all weekend early to mid morning depending on where you are.

If its less than 10 Ill go most of the time but my target area will change depending.
As far as the rain, I could care less unless its a huge system moving in. I just know if Im on the water past 2PM I have a chance of getting rained on pretty much everyday in the summer around here.
Hope this helps.
