When its very windy, we fish around tree tops and I will idle up to them untill my partner can grab a limb, when the wind blows the boat around I will catch one on my end, and we will fish every single hole in the top two or three times, then motor to another one and start the process all over. If I'm by myself, I use a piece of rope on the front and back. Wind blows, but this time of year, if you wanna fish, you gotta learn to deal with it.
