I thought I would share this weather resource to all you Anglers.
Its called XC weather and the link is here - fishing Weather
Hover over the area you fish in to find the latest wind speeds, Its very accurate.
You can select visability and temperatures.
A great angling resource.

We had very strong winds here in CORNWALL last night. I checked xcweather.com and the wind speed was reported to be 72 MPH.
I would suggest after a good storm like that it could be worth fishing once the sea has calmed a bit.
The above image is the Harbour arm in Porthleven. A good spot for Wrasse, School Bass, Pollock, Flatties and Mackerel in the summer.
Please take care when angling and do not go if there is any risk to your safety. I will do a post on angling safety at some time. Just remember its not worth risking your life for a fish, even a BIG fish. Angling is a HOBBY.
I promised when I was writing about my recent kayak fishing trip that I would show you what happens when you show off and don’t stow your rods when landing your kayak.
Well here goes, they are not the best pictures but you can see clearly the rod is now 8 inches shorter!!

I took a trip down to the Helford river to inspect a few possible fishing marks and get an idea of the shape of the river bed and where the strongest tidal currents were and where any food stuffs may be deposited.
This is an often overlooked part of sea fishing. Whether fishing from a Kayak or Beach casting, you can save yourself a lot of time and effort by spending a few hours walking your local beach or kayaking its length to select a few prime areas that you can revisit at a later date.
