WINDY DAYS AND MONDAYS GET ME DOWN

[Hotwater]

The Kowboy and I fished Lake Oconee today. We got to the boat ramp around 7:30 and caught our first fish at 8:00 a.m. The bite was good early and then the wind started blowing. We finally decided it would be best to motor upwind and troll downwind to save the trolling motor battery. The fish were in the channel until late in the morning when we began to notice they were on the move. It was a tough day of fishing but we were able to eke out 26 solid fish. The average size was at least 13 inches. We caught fish on every color while pushing 6 rods out of the front of the boat and long lining an additional 6 rods out of the front and 4 rods out of the back. We quit fishing at 4:00. The water was 50-51 degrees when we started and 52-53 when we finished. The fish caught early were in 17-20 FOW and those caught later in the day were at 14-15 feet. We plan on fishing again tomorrow and hope to find a spot out of the wind. The winds tomorrow are supposed to be be worse than today.

By the way. Good to meet you striperking.
