I always have my best results prawning when its super windy out. Is this a common thing? Sometimes I'll fish the same spots for a week. Some days great, some days nothing. If its super windy, I usually get 2-3x more than normal days.
This pattern is mostly from fishing in howe sound where I've done most of my prawning. Pulled the traps thanksgiving monday after blowing 30+knots overnight and did better than the other 3 days combined. My best days there are always when its been blowing hard.
The divers say that they can't even tell there's a storm when they are 20+ feet down so its hard to believe it makes such a difference.
Is the wind moving more water volume though? Or is this a sign I should be dropping my traps in a different spot or some place with more current? It seems strange that on big tide swing days, I don't see the same experience. You would think it would have a similar experience
Any other experiences people have on prawning in regards to weather? I've done well as shallow as 180' but it hasn't been consistent. I was wondering if that was on full moon days which may lure prawns higher. The divers at porteau cove say that there's tonnes of prawns there in 40-60' of water. Interesting that we usually don't target them that shallow.
