ra95 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I felt this year is so windy that Simcoe Perch fishing is impossible. Visit once and only 5 boats around (no perch fishing boat school any more.) Last year, I saw 100 boats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I tried to make some wind speed charts over the past 5 years, but alas the internet is not the place to find raw data. I'll see if I can make some graphs at work tomorrow. That will tell us for sure if this year has been the windiest in the last 5 years in the Simcoe area. The wind is the most annoying element to battle when I'm fishing and I noticed that this year has been particularily windy as well. Unless you're trolling or in a controlled drift, it's nothing but a pain in the butt.... of course that's also part of the charm and challenge of fishing.

mercman Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 its been windy as heck here in montreal too.When its blowing with the current you can actually troll a spinnerbait behind the boat.When its against the current the boat stays almost at a standstill.Its the east and west wind that really rip up the surface.I've become really good at controlling the drift with the minnkota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have to agree. Seems like it's been windy all year long. My Minn Kota is seriously underpowered for my boat which makes it all the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) I have plotted the daily averaged wind speeds for the past 4 years on 2 year separate graphs in meters per second. It is difficult to put an overall value to the speed, but it looks like this year was NOT the windiest year over the past 4. (too much missing data for 2005) Edited October 21, 2010 by Rod Caster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Your chart is not easy to read for a conclusion... Maybe I should have translated it... It is just plotted data so without averages and min/max's, you are right it's hard to conclude anything. ...plus I said it looks like this year will be the windiest year. I'm no scientician.

ra95 Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 :worthy: Actually I was wondering if you can make it more difficult to come to a conclusion...

No worries, one more day and I'm a civi again. James, haha, If I had more time I'd make a more legible graph.... I've searched, but I can't seem to find any good weather sites that have historical wind speed records. People only care about temperature records I guess??

That's what I meant - after you're a "civi" you'll be able to get it right! You must be getting a little antsy about now... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
