rocket102 0 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 hi allwhat winds are best(direction) for fishing metro in a boat. Is it true that the fish dont bight as well when its blowing from the east or is this an old wives tale. I have a quintrex 4.7 metre runabout and dont mind it a bit choppy but dont like being yoyoed all over the place. my old knees get too sore trying to stay upright lol and my wife gets seasick :vomit: if ifs too ruff :sick: rocket Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ranger 48 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Offshore winds always provide the calmest conditions. SE-NENorwesterlies can get pretty uncomfortable, and a SW is generally an indication of more weather coming.In your Quinnie, winds up to about 15 knots (any direction), and seas to 1.0 will be fine....always keep in mind that wind gusts can be up to 40% stronger than predictions.Sometimes you will even find conditions better and waters calmer as you get out into deeper water. For beginners and smaller tinnies, always look for under 10 knots and seas under 0.5m.As for the fishing. Always good after a blow which stirs things up. Apart from that, we get out when conditions allow and time becomes available.....cant afford to be too choosy! rocket102 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
