get out there and fish. it will be fun either way.
The fish are already wet, they don't care. Especially Spanish.
If the barometric pressure is falling, not so good but if it is steady or rising , go for it. 30 miles west of you, where I am, we have had a little lightning this morning, so be careful.
Man-Up go drown some beat and have some FUN!
The rain stopped in Mobile,Al and the wind picked up. The famous cruise ship that was in the Mobile River for repairs broke loose and the cruise ship crossed the river smashing into and damaging another ship. So be careful because those same high winds are headed toward Pensacola and would not make for good fishing weather.
I expect you're going to find small craft advisories in effect for the next couple of days. You might be able to fish Pensacola pier, but fishing in this kind of wind is tough. I was on Gulf Shores Pier about 20 miles to your east and caught my limit of Sheepshead in a couple of hours, but it was not pleasant fishing. There were a few king mackerel caught here this morning early, but I didn't hear about any Spanish. The fish at Pensacola usually get started earlier than here in Alabama. Good luck.
As long as it is safe. If you are dying to fish a little rain won't hurt, some of my best fishing has been in the rain.
Rain can be good and bad. Its bad because it distracts fish from your lure. But from my experience rain can also get the fish stirred up and more active.
