Wind.

Recommended Posts

Scheduled a vacation this week.

 

Intended on chasing beach snook.

 

I should have known better.

 

If it's not red tide, it's wind.

 

And it's been windy since April.

That's tomorrow's forecast.

 

Joy.

That's why I always carry a spinning rod or bait caster as well as the fly rod. I'd much rather toss a jig or plug in heavy wind than get frustrated with the long rod in the wind.

Yep, I agree with agn. When I travel, it's with one fly rod and one spinning rod. I can go fishing, no matter the weather conditions or surrounding brush/environment. Wind and tight quarters both call for spinning gear.

I can fish the bay from the opposite shore and be alright (with a fly rod). Spinning rod isn't an option, because I don't have a reel! But it's that time of year when all I can think of is sight fishing those little buggers.

 

Doesn't matter what you're throwing at the gulf in those winds, though (not my picture. Probably doesn't represent actual conditions.)
