Troy, Did I tell you that I also hate the wind? I fished a trip today with a great guy that lives in Ohio,but He'll tell you right quick that He is from Alabama! Like everyone else on the water today we tried to dodge the wind, I think we could have climbed into a cave and it would have blown the lights out! My coffee cup was white capping!My Dad called and told me that one of his chickens laid the same egg 3 times! In spite of the wind we was able to put 7 fish in the boat,all keepers, the best 5 might have weighed 17 lbs. All but one was caught super shallow (6in. to 1 ft.)We caught one in about 3 ft of water on a lipless crankbait. I am catching a lot of fish on a Ribbit and a Seismic Frog in the Duck Weed right on the bank.Also flipping an Evolution Jig in the grass.Be Safe and God Bless, Jim Burks
