Cold water after a North East

[Chaff]

My sons and I pull our boat  to the Oak to fish for a week. The last 2 years a strong NE blew in cold water making it hard for us to find mature fish.  I was just wondering if the NE affects Olcott the same way? Does the cold water move out faster? Any info wood be appreciated. Thanks Mike

As the weather permits, run out past the cold water, you'll find active fish once you find stable water temps. When a NE brings the cold water up and inshore, run deep to find the warmer surface waters. The fish and bait will be there, in their normally temps, just mind the weather at all times. PB's fishing will remain good or return rather quickly, after a NE, it will just be further north of what it was before the kick up. Just pay particular attention to forecast weather conditions before venture to far from home...
