    Re: Fishin' in the wind...

    Cant help you here, but when I lived up north, where there was shallow water, and you could anchor of a windy point, that was always good fishing.Spinner baits worked fine, but the rattle trap was the killer. Over hwere you need 150 ft of anchor rope on some ponts, and on a lot of them you will lose your anchor. Dont give up on the rattle traps though, cause the fish are there and a lot shallower than they usually are. I know bass boats are not meant for anchor fishing, and tournys frown on it, but before these big reservoirs were built, anchored fishermen were catching fish, and those who know how still do.

    Re: Fishin' in the wind...

    There are alot of ways the wind can help fishing, and alot of people prefer it. I HATE IT. I fish out of an aluminum boat, with light tackle. Boat control is impossible, on windy days, I have to find a place to get out of the wind which limits my fishing.
