Catching fish in Winds and churned water. by Joe Joslin (4/18/2008)
[Big Lake,LA] Like most inland saltwater fisheries the past few weeks along the southern coast, the winds have been relentless and have kept a lot of boats off the lake. However, the fish continue to bite if you can find a window of time when winds subside for a while.
