Which way the wind blows

So far, the wind has rotated 360 degrees around the compass dial. Currently, it’s out of the southwest. Garrett Paquette–a local favorite–likes that direction.

“We are going to have a pretty strong southwest wind later in the afternoon,” he said. “I expect that to keep the bite going.”

Paquette noted a steady southwest wind, like we’ll have today and tomorrow, allows for steady fishing catching all day long.

“The one thing about the wind out here is it allows us to move around to find the schools of fish,” he explained. “It really positions the fish well and makes them really aggressive, so today should be a good day.”

Paquette predicted lots of 20- to 25-pound limits will cross the scales today.
