And even if it was dead calm when I got there, as soon as I started it would no longer be that way. I've even gone from one side of the lake/creek, where it was windy, over to the other side (where it was calm), and no sooner than I got there .... bam, the wind kicks up. And for some unknown reason, it always seems to want to blow me right into the bank or right on top of where I'm wanting to fish.

Know this for sure .... Ma Nature & the wind gods have gotten a piece of my mind on numerous occasions.

since last August or so I have had the same experiences. My fishing days for the present are limited to mostly just weekends. Having never been much of a cold weather person, I had thought that winter would be a total no for me. But it seems I was wrong. My best outings have been on cold windy days. Not so much fun fighting the wind. Finally getting into a good position and the wind changes directions. As far as what I enjoy for me, nice smooth water and just warm temps. I guess the challenges are what keeps it interesting. Not everyone can be like Ketchn and catch fish in a mud hole
when you figure it out please share

Thanks skeetbum, that sounds like good advice for me, to stay as far as I can from the treetops I’m fishing, scale down in size, and slow down. I’ll have to try that. ��
