    Default 14 MPH East Winds, Harney...No Problem


    Dad and I made our first trip to Harney. We arrived at 9:30(we don't move so quickly in the morning). Wind was howling, but the fish bit anyway. Dad long-lined in the back and boated 50 crappie and kept 20 nice ones. I did not boat one keeper, maybe the 14 ft rods were bouncing too much in the front. Largest keeper was a 14" biggin, caught at 1:00. All colors produced. Left the lake pretty much to a pontoon boat that was trolling using their outboard motor.
    Thank you Stu for pointing us to the crappie!

    Glad to see you and your dad get out and catch a bunch. 14 more days and we will be in Florida catching those great slabs.

    It was breezy today, and I thought about how tough it would be for me out there. I'll have to longline next time it's windy. Good job.

    I rarely catch fish with that kind of wind force. But, I reasoned that the clouds would/could get the crappie to chase a bit more aggressively. I gambled and won. I've fished wind on bluebird skies with really bad results.
