Tips on Weather and Fishing

By Nia Lawrence


Weather is an important aspect of fishing. Weather conditions, just like the time of day and the season you are out on your boat, determines the success of your fishing trip. Some fish favor sunny weather, while others are more prone to bite when the sky is overcast. While you can't predict how the weather will turn out within the day or control the tides and wind during the season, with tools like a Raymarine chartplotter and weather forecasts, one can always be prepared. Moreover, it is very important that one has the right gear for the different weather conditions once can encounter. Comfort, like having the right tools, will make your fishing experience more enjoyable and more hassle-free. The following are some things that you can consider including in your fishing bag on your next fishing trip.

Always have a pair of polarized sunglasses with you. They are essential for spotting fish in the water. They are very important to have, just like the Raymarine S1000, so you need to make sure that you have a spare pair with you in your fishing bag or vest in case you break or lose a pair.

Never leave home without your sunglasses. Sunglasses are one of the most important tools you will need to have with you whenever you are out fishing. Not only will they be useful in keeping the sun's glaring UV rays from burning your eyes, they are very important to have if you want to spot fish effectively in the water. Just like Raymarine chartplotters with fish finding capabilities, having a pair of sunglasses will make your fishing easier. Make it a point to have a spare pair of sunglasses with you in case your main pair breaks or gets lost.

Make it a point to also put on some sun protection on your skin at all times. Even if it is overcast, the sun's UV rays can still penetrate the clouds and cause you sunburns. Make certain that you choose the waterproof type of sun block cream. Also, make sure that you have a wide brimmed hat to protect your head and neck.

Moreover, whether or not you have the Raymarine S1000 that can be useful in predicting weather changes, you need to be prepared with rain gear or a rain jacket. Just like being a boy scout, when it comes to weather, it is best at all times to be prepared.
