wind

pardon me how when shore fishing can you detect bites from what could be wind :confused:

[chesters1]

i can now ,my old DAM fiberglass one used to bounce all over the place my new cheapy daiwa longbeam distinctly shows bites ,i think its glass tipped???? but great for £35.

my sons really cheap carbon beachcaster is thick enough to stop it bouncing but doesent show timid bites hence from 3 fish down to 4 fish up after getting my new rod

as for seeing the difference its practice i`m afraid

I hear charcoal tablets can sort the wind out.

windeeze aint bad either.

 

Us north east anglers hold our rods all the time. A bite feels significantly different to wind or wave bounce.

 

A change of rod could also help. my apollo dont move a millimetere in wind yet it moves when a fish swims anywhere near your bait.

keep the rod tip down low, i do this on the cannon wall, it helps a little & as winter says, just touch the rod & you will conect direct to the little fisheys eating habits

failing that try some welsh poetry,

 

" rythm of the sasons, the wind & the rain,

dryness & heat, and then the wind again,

 

always the wind........,

 

and rain, which is the sadness we ascribe to nature, who feels nothing."

i fish with a south african (not as bait), and he holds his rod, (wait for the replies lol), when i got my tripod out he didnt know what it was, how do u roll a fag or have a coffee carrying that all day.....

fishing with two rods of similar properties can help you learn to spot wind and wave noise against bites.

kendo?

try to keep your line as flat as possible?

Try turning your rod rest to 90 degrees to the beach. ( Yes! I know you will feel the waves as bites.) But at least, you won`t get a bite every 5 seconds? This is also a good way of catching weed!!
