Fishing near-shore areas
The wind blowing from the open sea towards the coast pushes the forage fish towards the shore. As a result, predators follow this movement and also move closer to the shore.
As an angler, you need to take this into account when planning your fishing strategy. From the shore, you have every chance of achieving great sessions. Fish are generally found very close to shore, where food is carried in.
Surface agitation and bottom stirring
The wind generates waves and surface agitation that stir up the seabed, releasing food that fish are actively seeking. This agitation also improves the dissolution of oxygen in the water, stimulating fish activity.
The sandy areas are excellent spots in such conditions, as are the rocky sections. On the latter, many crustaceans and small fish come to shelter. The agitation of the sea dislodges them, attracting predatory fish, which then have nothing left to do but feed.
Impact on water temperature
If there's one parameter that can literally alter fish behavior, it's water temperature. Depending on the nature of the wind, it can cool or warm the surface of the water.
A cold wind from the north or north-east cools the water. Near-surface activity will then be almost non-existent, and it will be necessary to look for fish deeper down. However, this wind also has the effect of oxygenating the water, allowing fish to remain active in the water layer.
The influence of wind on visibility
The turbulence of the water blurs the vision of the fish, making them less wary. Fishing in foamy areas, where bass can hide easily to intercept prey carried by this commotion, often pays off. Ambient noise is also reduced, making it easier to approach certain spots discreetly.
