I'd rather fish in the wind than stay home and rake leaves in the wind........then again I'd rather fish than stay home under any conditions.

Just venturing a guess...I bet the guys in the 21' Rangers don't mind the wind as much as the guys in the 8' Pelicans.   ;D

I don't know what the guys on the bank think.   

When the wind gets up, really burning a white on white spinner bait in clear water, just under the surface, over/around wind blown points can be a dynamite way to hammer smb in early fall. The strike is vicious.

The wind really stirs up the water which brings the fishery alive as many have stated above.

Around here we've got a lot of smaller natural lakes..and when the wind starts blowing, you can pretty much bet I just dropped whatever I was doing and can be found bombing a spinnerbait..it can be pure awesomeness!

Well, that's never the case on the Tennessee River,

especially the east-west stretch I fish. High winds

ruin the day, making a drift impossible to fish.

I hate wind!

I used to hate the wind until I bought a Minn Kota Terrova with the iPilot.  Now, I just hit a button and the TM automatically keeps me within a five foot radius of where I "anchored."

A breeze that creates a little chop can make fishing better, but I have almost always found hard wind to make fishing more difficult, mostly because it makes a good presentation more difficult because it can reduce casting distance and make holding your boat in one area more difficult. It especially stinks for me because I'm a guy that likes to work an area quite throughouly with a couple different presentations.
