go to baits for windy conditions

Featured Replies

Any of you have a particular bait that works well for you when it's choppy on the lake?

        I think mine is a big spinnerbait so far.Haven't had that much success in the wind though. :'(

My most productive things to do when it is windy are

1) Burn a spinnerbait.  (Especially a Screaming Eagle)

2) Lipless Crank

3) Deep Crank (3/4oz Fat Free Shad, DD22, Lucky Craft Flat CB D20)

4) Jerk Bait

Might surprise you but a Buzz Bait will work well on choppy water  :)

3/4 oz. white spinnerbait w/ Big gold willows,a 5/8 oz old Rogers "alphabet' shallow crank, and a 3/4 oz. original BOMBER.        

Rattle Trap is my go to bait in the wind.

Let me share a story of how wind can affect the bite.  Once while fishing a tournament , me and my partner had flipped the heck out of some flooded brush with various plastics.  Not even a bite.  We pulled out to deeper water and began fishing a drop off.  The wind began to gust, creating waves that were crashing into the brush we had just fished.  We pulled back over to the brush and began flipping again.  We caught our limit in about 20 minuits.  A great lesson learned

Spinnerbait, chatterbait, but any bait you like to throw will work. Wind is awesome, used to hate it, but now I don't mind to see it.
