For most peeps high winds, as in gail force means riding it out in the garage or workin the honey-do list. To me it means I have the place to myself and often good catchin. Today with  high wind the first cast resulted in a 4+ lbr that just inialated an LC100. Coupla more cast to the area saw a few insincere taps. So I backed off ,down sized to a 78 LC to trick a 2=1/2 lbr and a few dinks.About an hr later another 4lb`r witch smacked the 100. Can`t describe in just a few words what that type hit does  for me.Its like a micro  masochistic event,which is what keep lots of us goingback .It was  very cold and nasty ,but I went home warm inside.

well done.

we went out yesterday and was bombarded with 20+ mph winds, gusting to 30 at times. jeez louise. we tried to get out of it as much as we could but most of our good spots were getting hammered. 4 hours and 2 dinks later, we put it on the trailer. i hate that kinda wind.

I want a Catch 22 jerkbait clinic

Surprise catch today.3 carp all snagged with a jerkbait.They were up on a flat about 3' deep

Thankfully the water cooled back down to 44 deg because of the 4" snow,so the jerk bite is still good.

The lmb is 16" and didn`t want to lay still for a photo.

2 good bass and 4 dinks

4 pickerel

3 carp

One can only tolerate so much of that before feeling the same.  I get might tired of it myself in a hurry now too. 

50mph gust while we were on the water Sunday. It's been awhile since I thought I might get blown out of the boat. 

Wind Speed	25 mph (South)
Max Wind Speed	39 mph
