If the forecast is for east wind, I try to go fishing.Originally Posted by SteveJ
The saying goes:
"wind from the west, fishing the best - wind from the east, fishing the least"
Not for me. I always look forward to an east wind, before the rain. The barometer would be falling.
I've never tracked the effects of the dewpoint/humidity on fishing, but now that I think about it, bluebird days suck and they have low humidity. Do you realize that when the current temp drops to the dewpoint, it rains? Your forecast says humidity 73 deg. Do you mean 73% ? That seems like a sort of high humidity for a bluebird day. What is the temp forecast? You have a strange set of forecast stats there. I never get a humidity or dewpoint or pressure forecast on a normal day! And there is no temp or cloudcover stat! If a true coldfront just came through, and you have a choice, I would wait a day or two. I mostly pay attention to the barometer and wind direction and intensity. Falling pressure and light east wind - I go fishing.
