Andy135 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Thinking of a shore session when the wind speed is too high/uncomfortable for the boat. But how much is too much? The mark I have in mind (Hurst shingle bank) would/should fish well with an onshore blow but not sure whether it'd be fishable or not with 13-15mph winds. What's the limit for your marks?

What's the limit for your marks? I've fished Eastney beach in a 60mph southerly before. Not easy or comfortable but it was doable. My Ian golds igloo didn't like it though as it folded in on itself within 5 minutes of being set up. Leaving me to hide behind a rapidly piled up bank of shingle! Not sure I'd want to do it again, especially not at Hurst. But 13-15mph should be fine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Eastney beach in a 60mph gale?! Surprised your leads didn't sail back past your head on the cast! Did you catch anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 depends on the direction and location - some fish chesil in 20+ mph - i wont, but i might try the piers! depends also on your tolerence and patience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you catch anything? Not much, whiting and rockling was about it. But to be fair I was pretty miserable so wasn't really trying too hard, it was an ISACS match though so had to tough it out.

For me that 10-15 would be perfect, where 15-25 becomes difficult to works with. I don't like calm windless conditions as these mostly end in a quite beach session for me. Of course when I lived on the IOW it didn't really matter as you could simply do a short drive to the side of the island which was protected. Offshore winds are a godsend for me when trying to lob big baits out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up on "the island" - spent my youth fishing Sandown pier, Yarmouth pier and pulling flounder out the medina at the cement mills, rowing club, or seaclose. did a fair bit off East cowes sea front, fort vic, and alum bay too - yes loads of options to escape the wind on an island!

How Manu years ago ? I was there about 25yrs and mostly fished the west side from shore and kept a boat at Yarmouth. I also fished out of Bembridge and still fish with some of my old shark fishing buddies from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
