LB windy tactics
Submitted by eddie on Sun, 2008-12-28 15:05
Ok, so a mate is in town and wanting to fish tomorrow night. It's been blowing like mad every evening and tomorrow doesn't look any different.
So besides enjoying a few cold ones and watching the sunset, I'd like to catch a few.
In my limited experience, I haven't caught anything in windy conditions.
So what do you reckon? I'm leaning towards hitting Hillary's north wall with southerlies on the go. But what tactics do you use to catch fish in windy conditions?
cheers!

a few of us are going down
a few of us are going down there tmorow night for a fish. earlier in the week it was pointing towards a fairly windless day and night. its blowing SSE so its not too bad but a SW would be better. looks like it wont be too bad anyway if u can get a good spot.
in windy condiuditons i tend to catch more fish. hardly ever get them in real calm stuff.
just have ut a big rod and take a coupla small rods for skippy, tailor etc. usual rigs for small stuff and big stuff etc.

On the north wall you should be very sheltered
It might be worth having a go down near where the wall meets the beach near sunset. I reckon some tailor might be hanging around there.
Another option might be to fish on the northern side of the groynes at Sorento near sunset.
