Forecasts & Picking A Day To Go

[papabear2611]

I drive 2 1/2 hours or so to get to Highlands, Belmar, PP so I have to be dead on, or best I can, with choosing what days to try to go forecast wise.

I do what I can to read all I can and learn for some years now on reading forecasts and I know a lot of times forecast is wrong.
I seem to hear different things by different peoples, capts, etc. depending on fish your going after, method of fishing.

For forecasts I mostly use Windfinder (forecast tab) because of hourly wind and wave direction forecast, trying to stay away from wind against at all times right?.
Also use NOAA and sometimes weather bouy etc. for further out trips.

But it seems like depending on the type fish your going after and the way your fishing, anchored or drifting, different conditions are better or worse.

So I guess what I am asking is what do you consider your best wind and wave conditions for the following;
(Please post your first and second wind and wave choices and worst, if you feel generous, max and/or min wind,wave)


Striper anchored, spring clamming etc.?
Striper drifting , jigging metals, eeling, etc?
Fluking drifting? bucktailing, bait
Tog anchored?
Seabass anchored?
Deep Wreck?

Thanks
