Thread: Wind Hazard Question

Thanks for that tip, and your website link. It's bookmarked now. The Intellicast Weather link has apparently changed since this article was written.
I have heard of drift socks, but never seen one used. Kinda like to try it.

Both the drift sock and the wind can be your friend but both can also turn on you. Be careful when using the sock that you're not using it in a stumpy area when there is a pretty good chop on the water. If it hangs up, it can sink your boat. You will have other days to fish when it's not bad windy unless you try to fish when it's too windy. I'm not suggesting you be afraid of the wind but it demands respect.
