How do you feel about an east wind?

[Rockfish9]

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.
