There are a lot of details to consider and adjust when we are in a windy fishing environment. If you master it well, the wind will be your friend.
1. Advantages of windy weather
The wind creates ripples on the surface of the water, which can affect the sight of the fish, making it harder for them to see your fishing lures, which is a better camouflage. At the same time, the fish will be more active, and the bite will be more firm. And many people don't like to fish in this weather, there are fewer people around you, and the pressure on the fish is less.
2. The choice of fishing lures
In windy conditions, the wind will drive the water flow, making the water muddier and less visible underwater. The fish are more active at this time and prefer quick bait. So you can choose Crankbait, Spinnerbait, and Swimbait. Taking Spinnerbait as an example, you can use double willow blades and the brighter glue group. For Swimbait and Crankbait, you can choose contrasting colors such as bright green or blue-black.
3. Follow the direction of the wind
The wind will bring food for the fish, which will attract the fish to follow the wind. So, you can follow the wind to find fish. Generally speaking, the wind will carry the fish to shallow water. So using the topwater lure at this time is also a good choice.
4. Control your rod tip direction
Try to keep your rod tip down. On the one hand, the wind will blow your rod and make you mistaken for a bite. On the other hand, the wind will blow your fishing line into an arc, which will be harder to reel and affect the movement of the fishing lure.
