Hit Monroe yesterday at daybreak...set up for first drift in the brutal wind...2 off the bat, reset for second drift, winds got worse Decided to go over to the power plant side to get some wind relief, nothing on one drift. Went to Bethel Creek entrance, nothing....bass fished with minners & soft plastics, 1 dink bass. Went back out and set a drift in front of Stone Island, nothing. Went over around the overpass but 1 dink bass, pretty much called it a day. Moral of the story...12-14 MPH winds locally translates to 18-22 MPH winds on the lake with 2-3 ft swells.
