I live next to a 13 acre lake here in Western NC and I fish it a lot. Most of the time I fish from the bank due to time limitations. Since the weather has moderated a bit late the bite has picked up. Friday evening after work I went up to fish one of two coves on the lake. I took a spinner bait and an x-rap. I caught 5 fish mostly on the spinner bait. One was about 4 pounds. Yesterday I went to the same spot and did about the same thing. 1 bass and one nice bream on spinnerbait. Well today I thought I would try to have a repeat performance.  Not a bite on anything anywhere, I mean nothing. The temperature was about the same, but the wind had died down a bit, but was intermittely breezy. I know that is just fishing but would like to hear some ideas why such a change.

Thanks,

Jim

you probably hit a small cove, and they just moved on, just keep searchin

those fish may have been in that cove to stay out of the wind and now the wind is gone have gone to deeper water to feed.

if the wind was blowin toward a shoreline the bass had probably moved into the cover to eat the small bait fish that were feeding on algea an plankton that had all blown toward the same area in the lake. now that the wind is stopped  the algea/plankto are no longer all in the same area so neither are the baitfish and the bass hagve jus left to find more food

There may still have been fish there.  It could be that the lack of wind increased the light penetration and soft plastics or jigs would have been a more appropriate bait selection for the weather conditions.

Two hot days from one spot is twice as much as anyone can expect.

You did good.

Now go find another one  

I agree with Avid and Cephkiller.Wind is an important factor for a spinnerbait,you need some wind.Plastics work best for me on bluebird days.

Thanks guys for the ideas. Two good days in a row in the same spot is probably pretty good. I guess the wind was the biggest factor. It's not hard to be humble when you fish is it? Ha!
