LOL, I fished the south side of the Canal when a hurricane passed close offshore, in sustained 35 mph SE winds with 50 mph gusts. When I say I "fished" the south side, what I mean is that I stood on the south side and fished part of the north side.
After a short while I got tired of cranking in about 150 yards of braid, and threw short. The fish were hugging the south side too.
