I totally agree with you 100%. So many clues..if you truly pay attention and it's not BS at all. The radar and apps can really help to determine path of storm, if there's lightening, etc etc. but if you pay attention to your surroundings you can pick up on a storm coming.

Fish up to it, and after a storm. Not worth the risk fishing during.It only takes one time and you're done.
If you follow this philosophy, how do you prevent a Thunderstorm from catching up with you. A storm
(hence sometimes very dangerous conditions
) can blow in very quickly. It can go from a few MPH to > 30 MPH in minutes.
Most of the time, nature gives you the clues well ahead of time. Absent the weather apps and radar, etc. strong weather systems are usually accompanied with huge drops in barometric pressure. You can feel that in the air. You can look at the shoreline and see the leaves on the trees curling up. The whole environment responds. The seagulls, the deer, the loons, eagles, they all seem to know it's coming. So do the fish. You can see the changes in the shoreline vegetation. You can see the bait fish up high on your graph. You can watch the bubbles sitting on the surface from a tail prop bait...
It's subtle to most, oblivious to many, but utterly apparent to the few that really pay attention to their surroundings.
Most guys will chalk this up to B.S. That's fine. But you can feel it coming if you pay attention.
