How do you feel about an east wind?
Not my fav... Just curious how others feel. It won't stop me from heading out as I go when I can. What say you?

Seems that a NE wind around here gets the stripers in a frency along the shore. I have payed out 200 -300 ft of anchor line in NE winds when fishing, using it as a safety line with motor running just in case of trouble when fishing along the rocks. Fishing along the shore here with Easterly winds puts U on the rocks.
Seems tuna fish bite better in a NE too.

Nearly had that today (NNE/NE vs E), good for washing the boat from bow to stern!  |

Certain spots for me are great in the east wind. But I only fish from shore.
Like you jfig, I go when I can.

In my location, an east wind makes my preferred style of fishing almost impossible and extremely dangerous. I'm quite frustrated with them lately. I will fish them, but I have to use less productive methods and fish crowded (1 boat is too many ), less productive areas.
I made one late night beach landing a few years back and don't intend to make another. |

not a fan of East winds in jerz, but I'll still fish it, inlets bucktailing, back bays, or places like sandy hook towards the end will work fine. Its not like fish say east wind, lets jut disappear. No, the are still there, just gotta find em.

In my area, after a stiff SW for a while, I'll have 55 degree water on the beach.
24 hrs of even light east and it will jump up to 68 - 70.
Gonna fish tonight - wind shifted today from ENE to SE. See what happens...

Fishing from shore I find the East wind causes the water to get weedy. Fly fishing from shore on an ocean beach with the wind in my face makes what I do almost ridiculous. Last evening I got to spot on an estuary with the wind at my back and picked up 16 little bass.

Confirmed, ENE - ESE blows....at least at three of my spots. There were fish but the water was so dirty, there was no way to plug it.
I might have done alright casting eels to specific spots in the drift but I don't think I could have casted them into the 25+ gusts.
How would you fish it? Dirty, swift water over a boulder field. Targets would be 25 - 75 yards out.

It all depends on where I fish. I have spots for every wind at every strength. To limit yourself only to certain conditions eliminates your chances at landing a lot of fish!

Got caught in that mess yesterday morning. I had to come back 20 miles in 30 kt winds and 3 to 4' waves. Very sloppy and wet. Sea Hunt hull was up to the task but it was a workout |
No boat, back in the suds.

I like it, only at a east wind spot though. You gotta find spots for all winds. Living almost on a island helps a lot

Friday night, blowing hard east, 10 fish to about 25lbs. Last night, moderate west winds, same spot and tide. Skunk. Too many variables to tell. One thing is guaranteed, if the rhyme caused me not to fish a howling east wind a few years ago, I would have missed what turned out to be by far the best night of fishing in my life.

It all depends on where you live.. and how much of a beating you are willing to take... I did my traveling and took my beatings when I was younger and still learning... if learned nothing else, I learned how NOT to waste time beating myself to a pulp under poor fishing conditions..now, I fish one area...the Merrimack river and the surrounding beaches and coastal rock piles... and it's been very good to me...an East wind is the end of practical fishing...you are trapped with no place to go.. yes you can still find a few fish.. but you must deal with mud roiled, weed cluttered water and fish limitied areas that contain fish on a given tide.. I can hit the rocky coves to the north , during the blow, but weed filled, grey mountians of water are not my idea of fun... same for the beaches to the south... just now the mountains contain sand instead of rock weed...... ... I'll get my rest when it blows east... and more than make up for it when it clears...I'll leave the traveling and the beatings to those that are younger with something to prove...It's a marathon..not a sprint.. see you all at the finish line.
