Fishing in the wind

According to my fishing log on April 12, 2017 the lake level was 862.  When I got to the lake at 2 pm the water temp down by the dam was 61° and the air temp was 73°.  There was a SE wind of around 10 mph.  Evening and night fishing was extremely productive on black and orange buck tail jigs.

Bucktail, something I don't have. I am going to have to get some.

Thanks for your diligence. I am not good at that. For some reason I think I will remember...not so.

I thought I might repost this it shows water temp and you can get an idea about water level by looking at the bank. Not much wind that day. I was fishing as if the spawn was over. You can also notice that the air temp changed a lot throughout the day. I also needed a shave or at least a trim.

Thanks for clearing that up Dutch. That's what happens when I rely solely on my memory! Here's a pic of State Park Marina on MAY 6th 2017 (I hope, lol!). So, boobie disregard everything I said, I'm a month off! Lol!

We had a hard time on our mon. thru thurs. trip. Didn't bb, my mistake..... threw grubs on windy banks and points and caught plenty of whites and a few blacks. Fished crappie spots,no luck... Threw back out on first day and cried about it the rest of the week. It sucked. It took the wind out of me. Now looking for new seat in the front of the boat cause the butt seat kills me.  Did catch some dandy whites,my buddy was amazed how big they were. I WILL BE BACK!!!!!
