Fished Sunday with my buddy Big D. Launched early from Renegade and went to our standard lucky spot. The water was green and murky. Began with minnows in the shallows suspended under bobbers, the usual killer this time of year…to no avail. Moved to edge of the weeds on the west end of the Meadows, same tactic, same outcome. Skunked at 11:30, we couldn’t believe it. Then the wind began to blow, and hard. So we hooked up very light pop-gear and worms on our spinning rods and began to drift in whitecaps. Game on. We caught 20 fish in 3 hours and 17 of those were nice rainbows. “Who’d a thunk it”. 3 were between 2 and 3 lbs (didn’t weigh them, but they were fat and healthy and put up great fights). All fish were caught in 15 to 30 ft of water. All released for another day. Turned out to be a good day, but got beat up by the wind and waves. Talked to some float tubers and they also said that they had caught a few bows as well. Put the 10 packages of minnows back in the freezer for another day… Thanks, PowerBate ---

Nice report - pulllease - make up your mind. Is it strawberry or is it rainbow? Choose your flaaaavooooor. [pirate] Sorry ya didn’t have any photos. Would love to see them bigguns. It’s the light-switch, just like I was just reading in In-Fisherman. Turns on, turns off. At any time - some fish will bite at ‘something’ at any time/place. Nice - switch lures, switch presentation, and - game on! Sweet. Thanks for sharing. You may not have marked an “X” on a map, but you at least told us what lake you’r on! Wind sux. Windy today, chance of showers. Weekend is lukin’ good! Still thinnin’ Pineview needs to meet me! (and vice versa!) ---

I have caught bigger numbers and fish in the wind…not sure why. Maybe they are more active with food swirling around. Or maybe it is the faster movement, All I know is it works, but it isn’t fun trying to land a big fish in wind and waves. Feels great once you have though, feels like you really earned that fish. Thanks for the report, thinking of hitting there this weekend.
