The wind actually(theoretically
)should keep the bait fish in-shore.I have also had success with a S or W wind.But as gusty as it seems,I don't think lite tackle will be the answer to get to the fish.....
But like my MoMMa used to say,"you won't know unless you try".
Gonna to try to bottom fish Ruddee this evening,I might also throw some Storm Shads???
