The wind sucks!!!!!

[Sitkaspruce]

Took today to sunday off to fish around home (Port McNeill), Port Hardy and Winter Harbour and all it has been doing is blowing 20-35+ since yesterday!!!!

Strong wind warnings and gales and it is starting at 8 in the morning, not the usual afternoon winds.

Was out for two hours today before it became no longer fun with 20+ knot NW winds, 3-4' waves...plus no fish or feed around.

Hopefully tomorrow it will die down a little bit to at least get a 1/2 day in.


Now that I have vented....I feel much better[]

Cheers

This wind takes the joy out of fishing. I lost 2 coho this morning 'cause I couldn't control the boat and fish at the same time.
Vancouver harbour.

On the bright side, the constant westerlies force the nutrient rich cool upwellings that are good for the entire food chain. Just think of all those salmon and halis that will be schooled up waiting for your gear to get back in the water!

This weekend it supposed to keep blowing. Might be good in the morning, and from what I heard on the VHF this morning, it was calm at Cape Scott, but blowing 35+ at Solander Island, just below Quatsino on the Brooks. So from this info, I would guess that it is a wee bit rough on the outside and OK in the sound. Might be going there on Sat or Sun if the wind shows to be slowing down.
