Even thought the winds were brisk, out of west at 5-15 with gusts, still went and fished. Me and bud needed a day out so we hit the 69 ramp around 1pm and motored out to the causeway bridge and fished for about 3 hours. My bud caught one bass up close to bank but I caught nada. Saw plenty of bait on Humminbird but few fish and had no bites. Left there and fished further south, Beach Creek area, and nada. I finally caught one striper close to a boat house, but that was it for the day. Surface temps were around 48F but just couldn't get anything to bite at any depth - minnows and BG jigs. Even though we didn't catch bumpkus, it was still a good day on the water. It will get better.
