Is fishing in windy and wavy conditions good?
Jun 20, 2020 10:46:15 #
It's been very windy with waves reaching 1.8 M height on the beach, the water is all stirred up and looks light green/turquoise , are these situations fine for fishing or is it not worth the effort?
Thanks in advance!

I watch lots of fishing expos just to pick up more info while I'm bored at work and they always say when it's dead calm, it's not even worth fishing the piers or beach most of the time. Ideally moving water is the way to go because everything is getting pushed around. I've found this to be mostly true when beach or pier fishing. As far as bottom fishing goes, calm is the way to go because your boat isnt getting thrown all over.

Thanks for the answer, I forgot to mention that in my case I'm surf fishing from shore.

Well,,,,,,,,,,,, On the beach, pier or shore I an incoming tide the best, outgoing tide isn't too bad, a neap tide, I don't go fishing. On lakes, the only thing I fish are walleye and I like a good walleye chop. On streams, I fly fish trout and the wind and my flies do not get along at all.

Hi,
I think it depends on which direction it's blowing, example. When we're surf fishing I like it blowing towards us from the East. I think it helps push the bait fish to the shore, especially with an incoming tide. And secondly when it coming from the S.E. bait fish and warm water. Freshwater, I cannot answer that one yet.

From the beach I'll fish anything up to 3 m as long as the water is clean.

Hi Mr. Rapala54,
Maybe if your surf fishing on the west coast or some people don't like casting into the wind.

Here's a little excerpt from the link below. If you do a Google search you will find many like this. But it was Dad that told us this many years ago :)
Zoey :
Many surf anglers like to fish in an offshore wind, for the simple reason that it's easier to make longer casts. But an offshore wind calms the sea, particularly so in periods of high atmospheric pressure, which produces clear waters.
In these conditions fish are likely to hang out in deeper water offshore during daylight hours, only becoming brave enough to venture close-in during the hours of darkness.
Strong winds, low atmospheric conditions and bigger seas are more likely to get results when surf fishing during the daytime.
