I was at CJ on Friday as well. Windy is putting it mildly. Around 3pm I headed up the snake arm, and it was whitecapping. It sounded like driving a car over a badly washboarded road.
I started out trying a shallow cove and caught one crappie right off the bat. Covered the cove completely, and didn't get another bit for an hour. Moved into the narrows and couldnt get a bit. Wind was blowing so fast it was like trolling for salmon...
Put on 6 sinkers (bigger ones), with dual jigs as well, and finally started getting some bites. I ended up catching 14. My dad never caught a one..
I put out my crawdad trap with some leftover popeyes chicken, and didn't get a single dad... perhaps they don't like popeyes.. Oh yeah, caught one small perch too. Not a single bass.. Water was showing 53 degrees on my fish finder..
