When this happens, some fish species head off for warmer or deeper water, while others move in. Because fish are largely cold-blooded lower water temperatures cause their metabolisms to slow down, so they tend to feed less often. As fishers we must adjust our approach or risk failure.
But first, let’s talk about wind, because wind can impact massively on your fishing… Bloody south-easterlies… and yay for north-westerlies!
I don’t like southerly or south-easterly winds when they blow over 10 knots, especially in winter. It’s still not clear to me why something that’s happening above the water’s surface affects the behaviour of fish in the water below, but it does.
