Anyone fish in this wind?

[Moses]

Cancelled my boat plans this morning. I was up so I headed down the Canal ~4am. Fished the Cape side at a few locations without a bump. Then tried a few on the mainland side, wind blowing hard from the S/SW.

3 fish in 4.5 hrs, biggest was 27". Lost numerous fish because I couldn't set the hook with this damn wind, too much bow in the line. Anyways, beats staying in. May try the canal again this evening.........

at 4 am it was 20 knots WSW and yes fish were caught, but they had yellow eyes and no stripes but it was fun anyway. seals didn't show untill it was over thankfully. I hope the one that got a facefull of my trebles yesterday, chokes on it. Next time I will open the bail before the bass gets chomped so it will have a chance. I was able to outfish the seals with the blues yesterday because they are more streamlined and cut thru the water better to be able to winch them in, but not so easy with 20 lb bass
wind makes it a challenge for sure, increased chop=harder for fish to see the plug, more bow in the line, harder to set the hooks.

I tried to fish in that wind last night, no luck for me. I want to head back out later, if anyone has any ideas, pm me.

Hoping the wind dies down a bit this evening...

Tis my last night out before the baby comes.... thinking of heading up to the Sandwich area.
