I have a simple question ??

[D.D.E.]

will fish bite if their is an east wind ?

A friend of mine argues they will not. I have seen that fish were caught on a day with an east wind and i argue their are other factors involved. barometer, how big of a wind it is, the size of a front moving in, how long the wind has been blowing from the east, etc. I will concede my argument if i am wrong. I need someone with more experience to give me a few facts.

Thanks all, Dennis

A simple answer is YES

Watch the reports for the next few days, fish will be caught


Edit adder: You win the argument

Yes. Many fish will be caught. But a light east wind will still create some waves. It may be rougher than you think with he light wind forecast

I also have caught may walleye with an east wind. Running from the Michigan shores, head straight into the wind ( slowly) and troll/drift back towards the ramp. Works quite well and not many folks will go out in an east wind, so there are a lot less boats.

My personal best, 14 pounds 10 ounces was caught in an east wind. Weighed her, took a picture and released her. We caught a lot of other net benders that day in that east wind.
