I dont know man. Romo wore his on Thursday and you see how that turned out!

I've always heard "Wind out of the east fish bite the least". I guess the truth is fish bite the best when you're on the water fishing.

I have had some great days while fishing in an East wind. Ive also had some bad ones! I think that what effects the bite is not the wind, but the pressure and frontal systems that are associated with it. I have found that when these conditions first start, ie. high pressure, North or East wind etc., the bite can really suffer as the fish try to adjust to said conditions. If it is a prolonged system, the fish can become acclimated and will begin to feed again. You just have to adjust with them. You would think that once that East wind stops, or changes to the South that it would help the bite. BUT they may actually shut down until they get acclimated to the changing conditions. Once they do, you may have to change with them, (color, depth, speed, location,) to stay on the bite.

The fish that were caught when the wind was out of the East wanted it dead still and right on the bottom. When it shifted to the South, we had to drift with the wind at over 1mph, which brought the baits up several feet in the water column!
