on weather.com tomorrow morning at 6am has the predicted winds at 1mph from the SW.

Easter Cod sounds good to me.

But down here we want winds from the SW at 12-18 mph

Why would you want wind?

The wind drives the bait and fish closer to shore.

I always thought the wind was good to keep the hair out of my eyes !
Wind is good when there is bait and fish around !
4 to 5 more weeks .

Yeah, and I blew it......saw the weather channel this morning, and saw south wiinds for tomorrow.....so now it's gonna be southwest.....maybe I should wait a day....but noooooo....I decide to go to PP for flounder, not a friggin touch, and man, that Northwest wind was cold on the bridge, should have stayed home and did garden work.......story of my life.......

......so, can I convince myself that the garden stuff needn't be done tomorrow, and head south?.....

I forget the influence of wind and bait fish. But for cod fishing off Marshfield the seas will be nice and calm with a SW wind.

Hopefully I'll be able to post a favorable report tomorrow.

Steve,
That NW wind gets to run up all of the cold water from Plymouth to the bridge so I imagine it was cooold.
But your doing the right thing, can't get any fish here at my desk.
