I was thinking the other day that if I waited for ideal conditions :-
new moon, high tide at dawn/ dusk, low pressure, SW wind enough to make surf, warm, cloudy, ect, then I would only be able to go fishing a couple of times a year.
So can forum members tell me, just how bad is an Easterly wind & can anyone suggest a scientific reason why the fish don't like it?. There must be some techniques we can use after all our brains are condsiderably larger & better developed than a fishes is!.
Would any of you venture out with your rods in a Northerly or Easterly wind?.

Northerlies, definately, If there is a surf rolling onto the North Coast then the Storm Beaches will produce Cod or Bass, depending on the time of year. Easterlies, I've fished 2 this year, both in March. One at Deganwy, where it was blankety blank, however my mate was getting hold of bits and bobs and one at Ty Croes where there were fish, however only small stuff, not ray etc Only just started to note down wind speed and direction in my annual log this year, along with sea temperature. So if you ask me in another 3-4 years or so, I may have an answer I am confident with...  So far best sessions this year have come when the wind is blowing between West and South, however as this is the prevalent wind direction (about 80% of my trips this year) this could be a coincidence. |

Any wind with an Easterly effects the fishing down here in the southeast.I have to agree with garethp and have been more successful on southwesterly,westerly winds.As a rule I rarely venture out on an easterly wind.I would imagine it has something to do with air pressure on the surface of the water although Im no marine expert.Ive thaught long and hard about wind direction and like garethp keep a log.I would imagine maybe the wind effects micro organisms in the sea also effecting various species up the food chain which predate on each other but whatever the reason when the winds in east the fish definately bite least (well for me they do anyway)

it is a fact that over meny years the North Wales coast has not fished well in a easterly wind, why I don't know, yet on the east coast they welcom an east wind, so come on you uni lads get it worked out for us, PLEASE
