Windy Day On High Rock 3/10
March 10, 2017 let's see...
27year wedding anniversary
gale force winds predicted for most of the day
significant cold front moved through the area early this morning
I have an idea, let's go crappie fishin'
I've never been the smartest feller but I had a chance to go and it beats working. Got a late start and began fishing at 10:55am and got off the water at 2:10pm. Caught somewhere around 80 fish, but some were extremely small. We kept 52 in the 8" to 11.5" range but did manage 5 fish between 12" and 13.5". Had 1 nice white perch. The wind was brutal and kept us from fishing 90% of our spots. We managed to find 3 areas with limited wind and basically used 1/16 jigs and single pole casting around visible wood and rocks on or just out from the bank. Several were caught right on the bank in 1ft or less while most were caught 15ft off the bank in 6 to 8ft water. Fish wanted a slow stop/go retrieve tight to the bottom. Caught fish on pink/white, blue/white, black/chart, orange/chart and even a weird bumblebee color. Fish were divided between me, my fishing partner and a gentleman that can't get out to fish but loves to eat them.
Given the conditions, we were extremely blessed to catch these fish today. Just goes to show, a couple dummies and a desire to fish sometimes produces a good outcome. Only saw one other boat and they were bass fishing.
Looks like old man winter is marching into town for several days. Hope ya'll have a good, safe weekend..

Hey your not crazy! Today was my wife's birthday and I got out of the house before she woke up. LOL But I paid the price when I got home. Had to get dress up and go out to eat. Luckily I got a good wife and all's well. You had a great day like we did on Wylie. Our fish aren't on the banks yet and still in deeper water but scattered. They are cruising and waiting for the magic numbers to appear. Enjoyed your report and pictures. You did good!

You done good, thanks for the report, reminds me when we killed them on the bank a few years back on high rock.

Thank you sir.. A good wife is certainly a treasure. I had intended to slip out early but my partner had a delay. My wife said, don't even think about ignoring our anniversary cause I know where you'll be fishing and WILL hunt you down. We just got back from a dinner date as well so all is good in marriage-ville. Glad you gentleman had a safe, productive day.Originally Posted by BigDawgg

Those big ole pines were swirling and once the wind came on it never let up. Even those crazy birds were having trouble.
