Windy Pond trip

[gillchaser999]

What’s up with all of the high winds, almost everyday lately ?
A Front came through last night . 44 degrees this morning with a 14mph wind and gusts to 27mph .
But the sun was shining ! I had Togo fishing.
I left the baitcasters at home and took my 5’6” Daiwa Trout X UL paired with a Daiwa Legalis LT 1000d spooled with 3# P-line .
I built a couple spinners this morning and that’s what I used mostly .
I caught a small green fish on one of my spinners but that was it for the first hour
I tried a float and jig trying to catch a gill of some kind and caught a little bigger green fish , so it was back to the spinners .
I fished the sunny side of the town pond most of the time because every time I walked over to the shaded dam side , it was like trying to fish against a hurricane .
I would try about 10-15 minutes until my hands with fingerless fleece gloves would feel like they were frost bitten . trying to cast against the wind was tough .
I got two green fish , that was it .
I’m beginning to see a few trees starting to bud , hoping for an early spring.
