I've been seeing fish with their backs out in various coves. I thought carp...but maybe big gizzard shad. They spawn in open water and the eggs sink and hopefully stick in something...hopefully for the shad of course.
I found a good weather resource here:

---------------------------------------
You probably know this one. What I found is lower on the page below "Additional Forecasts and information" you can find a weather graph.
http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php...=graphical
On that day I think the graph said wind coming up about 3 to 4 PM. Keep yourself safe or at least informed out there.
I've got a lot of respect for how big + rough Mead can get in the big reaches but I gotta say some of the best Striper fishing I ever had is when it is downright windy and nasty and you are downwind on a windward shore which is throwing up a mud line.
That's when you need to know your rig is gonna start every time. Smile.
