So I've only gone out fishing once this year until today, where I hit up a rock mark on the Hook Peninsula to fish some soft plastics for pollack.
It was a sporadic decision so I didn't know what conditions were like until I arrived. There was a bit of swell with waves up to 4ft at times with a SW breeze.
I tried all sorts of retrievals and lures to no avail on the flood.
I'm looking to go out again soon but just wanted to know if the conditions made a difference? Normally that's a favorable wind for bait fishing around here but it seemed like it was too rough (especially in close) for my lures.
Was it just a standard blank or do rough conditions have an effect on lure visibility etc?
Thanks!
