Went out yesterday yak fishing in W. Bay. Spent the whole time fighting the wind and waves for 0 fish. I had the gigging gear in the truck so I decided to give it a shot against better judgment since I was already halfway down the island.
Thanks Coe for letting me ditch the yak at your place for a few hours.
The clarity on the S. shore was great despite the wind. Luckily the tide was up as you could only gig a few dozen feet away from the shore before the wind chop made it too hard to see.
I walked around for 2 hours, saw a really big ray right off the bat. Towards the end I started seeing what I like to see... Clusters of fresh beds from keeper fish. Stuck 3 decent ones and passed on one that was ~15".
I guess high winds are pretty workable if you are in a protected area and the clarity is still good. At least it made the skeeters work harder too
