Cape Fair tomorrow?

[Toby Estes]

Haven’t fished up there in several years. Was set to go tomorrow, then got wind advisory on the phone. Seems like you should be able to hide from the wind up there. Any thoughts? Looked at some different wind forecast sights, but they are widely different. Anywhere from 15 mph to 30 mph?  Any advice greatly appreciated.

I would think hiding from wind at Cape Fair is certainly possible, but you’ll have to wait for one of the experts to chime in for something more official.

maybe hit that 50 degree water up Flat Creek

Wind should not be a problem up there if you have a big bass boat. They ought to be all over that stickbait up there. I’m headed out the door for Eagle Rock. Jeff has been having all the fun up that way. My turn today

Good Luck

Toby, hope you got along OK, wind was not a problem in the least up the White. Buddy is pre fishing in Baxter today and said it was not bad

Wind is gusty but blowing in all 4 directions so its not stirring up a tsunami

I put in at Cape Fair midday - fished Virgin Bluff area - wind was no problem - there was a local tournament out of the Marina - ran into a guy at the ramp who said 14 lbs won.

I caught fish on  the jerkbait and 2.8 Kietech - nothing to brag about but I am new to that area - did have two keepers, barely and some shorts and some really really shorts.

My new Ranger Z519 flew thru the waves without a drop on me.

Big wind has stirred up fish. Tuesday had good jerkbait bite up James almost up to Cape Fair. Some swimbait bite on pea gravel. All in the wind, point and cuts. After big wind Tuesday, Wednesday bite finally picked up near Aunts Creek area, mostly jerkbait on channel swings, bluff end and points. Only 3 hours 13 good ones up to 17” spots, 1 lm, 1 meanmouth. Some big spots. All on the stop. 5-10 seconds. It’s happening. What you’ve been waiting for. Thanks to Babler for the heads-up. Wind was bad posterior. Be careful. Wish I had a few more days there. Bull Shoals next up.

Bad posterior - hahaha. You know what I mean.
