Sick no tired of watching the weather channels reports .. Went fishing today and the weather channel said 5-10 mph winds today at best... musta been 15-25 with 4 ft rollers by 10 am today,, I have whiplash from rolling back to the ramp, Only brought home 1 keeper and several stripes that quickly returned back into the water,,,, Just too much wind to fish.... Any suggestions on what to watch for up to date wind, weather reports that are close to being right?
I have about given up .The weathermen have ruined a many a good day just the opposite prediction . Just go .:juggle
They suck. Don't even get it close. It did turn out nice later on though. Ended up with 8. Long day fishing. I'm giving up for a few weeks. Going to try a few bream.
I use weather.gov . Hit the map once at the lake location and then and then again when the map refreshes. You will have a forecast then for the location. Down at the bottom choose tabular forecast. The wind will be by the hour and direction. It's the most accurate weather I have found.
Correct, me too. Updated continuously by NOAA. Pilots and people who know use it. It's all wrapped up nicely in their format. Haven't a clue what television folks do, don't watch.Quote:

Weather Bug.
Weather gov. Didn't even come close this morning,,, said at Saridis it would be 5-10 mph winds,,, don't know if anyone has looked outside today, but th trees are bent over here in Memphis,,,,, I sure it will have hurricane winds today on the the lake there,,.
North wind fish on north bank. South wind fish on south bank. West wind fish on West Bank. East wind fish on east bank. Simple enough forecast.
What you have to do when you fish out of a smaller boat anywaysQuote:

At Sardis it depends on the wind direction and where they read the wind speed. If it's out of the west they measure the speed at the dam. Holiday lodge will seem like 2-3 times that. If the wind is out of the east they measure the speed at Wyatts, and at the dam it will seem like 2-3 times that. [emoji12]
Usually for me, a 10-15 or higher from ANY direction is a no go day. It is not worth the aggravation of fighting the wind...........really takes the fun out of our sport.
Yep.
We're just going to start fishing in the evening. Seems like the wind lies down pretty good.
full moon. night fishing!
