Thread: Wind effect on baiting up help?

Hi there, hope everyone is safe and well? I'm quite new to fishing, so I'm googling everything to do with it during isolation, but I can't find anything on wind effect on baiting up. I've read Rob Hughes articles about clipping up etc which I found really interesting, but nothing on wind effect.The reason I ask is because I put some chopped up boilies in the margin only about 18 inches deep, it was quite windy, and the bait drifted about a foot which I was surprised it moved so much, and got me thinking of spodding, catapulting at a greater depth. I appreciate that there are too many variables to be able to come up with an accurate formula as such, but for instance, if I had a 15mph wind blowing left to right at 10ft depth and i was fishing 16mm boilie, how much correction should I allow compared to say sweetcorn or particle? And how much difference if I was fishing at 5ft or 20ft, does the drift of the bait taper off below the first couple of feet? Or what if the wind was stronger or weaker, does it have an exponential effect on the drift of the bait or does it decrease the further from the surface? If anyone has any links for information it would be most appreciated or any input from personal experience would be more then welcome. Many thanks.
