Yes it was windy! And yeah that's an understatement. Between the wind and discharge rates at 97k+ CFS, I opted for a nice protected creek. I had no clue as to where to begin. So I just put my sonar on side imaging and started my search. I located a school about 1/4 mile back in the creek. They were holding in a couple of blowdowns on a steep rock bank, a mini bluff if you will. I hadn't changed baits since my maiden voyage so that's what I started with. BG Green Banana was the first one in the pool. Almost every cast resulted in a 11-12" fish. When things slowed I just picked another rod that I had a Monkey Milk with tail lights tied on. That worked well for a bit longer. When things cooled off again I took off to find another spot. Scanning on back in the creek I checked a few more steep rock banks with blowdowns and found nothing. I didn't realize that while I was continuing my search the wind had died down somewhat, aka frontal passage had taken place. So I headed back out, stopping at a dock that I thought was holding fish made a few casts to no avail. Continuing back out of the creek, I stopped at the blowdown I had first found, fished it for about 15 minutes and only landed 2 more, and 1 of them was the only short of the day. Grand total for today was 7, and I'm thankful for those. With the bite all but stopped I decided to start my run back to the ramp.

'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6

7 keeper fish in those conditions is pretty good. At leas you kept plugging away and located them where most wouldn’t even try.

7 is a great mess of fish. I built structure this afternoon and the wind was chilly for sure.
