Title: wind direction
Post by: greg b on September 11, 2014, 07:46:42 PM

Hey guys. I'm curios to learn how wind direction affects fishing from boats. What direction is considered favorable and why ? The past couple of days the wind seems to be blowin NE and has made for less than good fishing. Why is that ? What happens ? I know this may be a "fishing 101" question, but that's where I'm at on this topic. Thanks !
