Is This Windy

[TheLoneTurtle]

Is 19km/hour windy? Might go to stockyard point tomorrow afternoon, low tide. But if 19km is too windy then i wont go.
Cheers

20 kmh for me is a bit borderline, mainly because at that strength with tomorrows' temperature the wind chill factor will be high.

It won't be too strong to cast in as at stockyard you don't need to be a long caster to be in the fish zone. Depending on the wind direction French island may just reduce the wind strength a bit.

Good luck with the fishing.

Personally it is for me, (19klms winds) I've got a 6m boat. The boat would handle it fine but it's not comfortable.
From memory tomorrow's winds are generally WSW so maybe on the north side of the island would be better.

Your definition of 'too windy' might be very different to someone else's. Your best bet is to go and find out for yourself.

Exactly! I can't help you with conditions down there. But at worst you will work out that next time when it's blowing that much if it's fishable or not. Get out and have a crack. You won't catch them on the couch!

Cheers mate, i think a pair of thermals, jeans, waders, 2 long sleeve tops, 1 big rain coat, 1 massive warm jacket, a robbery mask, gumboots and sunglasses should do me just fine :rofl:

Depending on how keen you are there's somewhere to fish in 19km winds.

did you go out?
how did you find it?

important question, did you catch anything?

Honestly way to windy at a place at stockyard where its just a big open area. Because the winds were heavier there, the weeds got stirred off the muddy bottom of western port. These weeds were muddy and were coming in massive portions, they even set my drag off (along with the heavy current). It was just me, no bites, no fish. Never going in that climate again, also the winds were fresh and freezing. :oops:

The best way to learn is experience. You can listen to people all you like but you still always wonder in the back of your mind.
Ive tried heaps of things that people told me wouldnt work and found they work the best.
Also found things people tell me are a sure thing dont eventuate.

Had plenty of good tips too. Just try it for yaself and then you definitely know.
