LuckyHandsINC. Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I also hate fishing in the wind. Most of my fishing is done on small john boats on reservoirs that don't allow motors. Anything over 10 mph and it seems I do more rowing than fishing. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted April 9, 2012 Super User Posted April 9, 2012 Winds are by far my least favorite....anything over 12 with my aluminum boats becomes a pain! Jeff 1 Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted April 9, 2012 Super User Posted April 9, 2012 Easily fishing in wind, other things I can dress properly for an its no issue. But I have had some outstanding days fishing in the wind Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted April 9, 2012 Super User Posted April 9, 2012 Wind also, nothing makes me more GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRish than that. 2 Quote
WookieeJedi Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 i hate any type of wind in my kyack..... It sucks, no doubt. Even when you anchor, you get spun around when the wind shifts. I try to tie the anchor rope off to a point that leaves me aimed properly, and I use a bungee cord as a shock absorber for the anchor rope at the boat. One reason I like the sit-on-top design is that it allows you to sit side saddle if you need to do it. I still prefer the kayak to a bass rig when the big water gets rough. 1 Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Wind also, nothing makes me more GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRish than that. I had a hard time describing how I feel when fishing in the wind but this is about right. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Winds above 12-15. Add cold to the wind and it's worse. Add rain to that and it whips my butt by the end of the day. Quote

Today is one of those days to play with another hobby I'd rather be out in snow/sleet/freezing rain than to have wind Quote
Super User grimlin Posted April 9, 2012 Super User Posted April 9, 2012 Wind is the reason why I didn't get out Sunday(anything over 15mph wind gust). I also won't go out in Storms or any temps below 40. The heat never bothers me......I could be fishing in 100 degrees weather and I'm good.Just stay hydrated is the key. Quote
Super User tomustang Posted April 9, 2012 Super User Posted April 9, 2012 The heat never bothers me......I could be fishing in 100 degrees weather and I'm good.Just stay hydrated is the key. Im more concerned about the humidity than the heat Quote
B@ssCrzy Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Wind for sure!! Although last Friday had 15-20 mph winds and still went out. My v-hull was like a kite. However, I caught my PB largemouth at about 4.5 to 5 lbs. You better believe next time I'll be back out there again. I am not in a place where I can always chose the best day to go so sometimes it is just part of it. Quote
jkarol24 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I can fight the wind. But when it starts snowing and you cant feel your fingers Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 9, 2012 Super User Posted April 9, 2012 Hate fishing when the wind is over about 15 mph. I don't mind the cold, as long as, there is no wind chill. Quote
200racing Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 dog days afternoons of summer in Alabama. high wind can be annoying, but i know everywhere i fish good enough to know where to get out of it. there have been plenty of 100 deg heat index with close to 100% humidity days id pay serious money for a breeze. 1 Quote
Diablos Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I won't go out if the wind is projected to be near 20mph. I hate nothing more than fighting my trolling motor all day. That will all change when Minn Kota decides to make the I-pilot compatible with foot pedals. I will go out in sub-40 degree weather. Bass Pro 100mph gore-tex takes care of that. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted April 10, 2012 Super User Posted April 10, 2012 I love fishing in the wind. The stronger the better. With a big trolling motor, a big drift sock, and a adjustable lean seat it makes it possible to fight the wind. You just can't be in a hurry or it becomes a safety issue. I hate fishing cold, muddy water in the winter. It sucks. If I see that I just go home. 1 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted April 10, 2012 Super User Posted April 10, 2012 While wind is a pain, often the fishing makes up for it and there are usually some spots that are fishable even in heavy wind. I'm with 200racing: cold, muddy water or oppressive heat and humidity take the fun out of fishing for me. Quote
Scorcher214 Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 High humidity. I'll fish in it, but, good god is it miserable. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 10, 2012 Super User Posted April 10, 2012 Wind, but I must say, I finished top 3 in (2) tourneys last year and both days wind was blowing 25-35 Quote
scrutch Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I hated the wind much more before I got iPilot. I don't like the cold rain. I can fish in a summer rain all day, but a very cold rain in the spring or fall sends me home. Quote
tnbassfisher Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 i hate any type of wind in my kyack..... This. If the wind is blowing, I spend nearly half the day trying to stay off the bank. 1 Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted April 10, 2012 Super User Posted April 10, 2012 Being in the Midwest, all y'all are spoiled. If it's blowing less than 20, it's a light wind. I don't consider it rough until it gets to the 30-35 mark. My least favorite thing to fish in is freezing ran. It makes the boat deck slick and hurts when it hits your face. I don't mind cold, raid, snow, wind, heat, anything but freezing rain. 1 Quote
