 I just love fishing in rough water, and there's been plenty of it in the last month with all the big blows that have been occurring. Those big winds, especially those right in your teeth, generate a lot of white water and a moving surf.  It stirs up the bait and gets the stripers active.

Today was a perfect example. I fished this afternoon in a big southerly blow.  I'm guessing the wind was gusting up to about 40 miles an hour. It was coming right at me in the spot I was fishing.

In fact, I landed a couple of fish just as I was pulling the float out of the water!

Today's fish were an improvement over the small schoolies I had been catching during the week. I landed a couple of thirty inch slots along with good numbers of hefty schoolies. I can almost guarantee that if the water were calm I would have caught nothing.
