- Cast directly or at a 45-degree angle into the wind. Fish will line the windward shore to feed on the drift.
- Use sinking lines. They’re heavier and therefore easier to cast through the wind and wave action won’t affect line control.
- Use a fast-action rod capable of increasing line speed to overpower the wind.
- Kneel or crouch to keep a low profile and cast a tight loop even utilizing a double haul to beat wind gusts.
