I rely the most on accuweather.com. Select extended forecast, click on the day you're checking, and select hourly forecast. Here's the thing: the wind may blow 15-20 mph starting sometime in the afternoon, but be 5-10 mph from dawn until after lunch. So you can go at first light and fish in light winds for 6-7 hours. That's the way I use the hourly forecast and it's pretty reliable. But, I'm fishing for fun and can go/come as I please.


In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.
