Fishing was pretty slow today, but the wind was fast. I'll bet there was 30mph winds on the lake. We did find a few though in 10' of water at about 6' deep. We did catch one nice one at 2lb 3oz. This fish is just as big as my 2lb 11oz fish only this ones belly was sunk in. I sure would have loved to catch it when it was full. We only fished for 4 hours in no name creek before we couldn't stand the wind anymore and we kept 10 fish.
Man you are crazy for going out today, but crazy in a good way.lol
It payed off... That is the 3rd largest crappie I've ever caught. I think I need to invest in a wind sock though. All that wind was really rough to fish in especially long line trolling.
I too think you're crazy for going out today, but also in a good way! Good looking fish! Thanks for the photo.
Since I have a limited number or oprotunitys to fish, I try to make the most of them. The wind was almost THIS bad at blackshear slabfest back in feb.Quote:

heck I knew you were crazy before you went out today!;)
Glad to see you landing some bigguns... That 3 pounder might be on next trip... Keep fishing... whenever you can.... I knew you were crazy about crappie fishing! If I had a bigger boat I'd fish wind more but the water comes over the bow.
I know what you mean with the water comming over the bow. During the last blackshear slabfest the whitecaps were coming over the bow and I was soaked from the knee's down. My son still talks about winning money fishing. He thinks you should always win money while fishing:o
Thats a nice fish!!! It was to windy for me so i stayed in the bed.
damm good fish Wes. Looks very familar :)
Hey drill instructor,
You better hurry back. Ole No Name Creek is getting wore out:D :D
yeap i here that caught some good weight in there during the tournament.
score I heard this morning there was 59 mph gust yesterday while you were out. That folks is a DIE HARD CRAPPIE FISHERMAN!!!!!
Is that the one we had tagged for you? Man.. I knew i should have thrown this one back:D :D There's plenty more where this one came from that are waiting for your return.Quote:

Good fishing.........
You deserve that fish (and maybe a medal too:D ) for going out into that typhoon today! Proves they can be caught in the worst of conditions.
Hey, I have 3 of those wind sock things in my basement that have never been in the water! Has floats on top and weights below. Maybe that is the thing to try instead of sulking and sayin' "It's just too windy to fish ;) )
