That'll work right there for sure. Looks like you did okay... even in spite of the wind.
Thanks for sharing your windy day on the water with the rest of us.
Fished for about 3 1/2 hours and the wind was brutal. 3 foot plus rollers 25 mph with 35-40 gusts non stop....Quote:

Thanks for the report and pictures. Wishing I was up there fishing today.
I knew you would love those pics Mark! WTG and winds that high with white cap waves? WOW that is one great day in tough conditions. Were you in back of coves to get to calmer water or where were you fishing? thanks for report!
In coves but it wasn’t much calmer lol trolling motor in full throttleQuote:

Wow I'm impressed. Congrats on your catch! I fished Saturday 3/28 .... coves, main lake points 20 ft to 2 ft you name it. I found fish in two coves but couldn't get any to take the jigs. I don't recall a time I've gone to MTL and not caught at least one crappie. So it was the first time for me to get skunked on the lake. The water was very muddy and I fished the 107 bridges (both of them) and most of the bays around route U. I didn't stay in one place more than 30 min and I fished from 11:00 to 5:00 PM. Did you catch yours on vertical wood?
I fished mostly the north fork and the middle fork. Do you mind sharing which fork you were in?
Great job, stay safe and eat well
Mid lake coves most fish on underwater structure or open waterQuote:

Great catch. Fatties.
Wind makes it tough, but looks like it was worth it. Nice catch!
Nice job. Brutal wind is what really ruins my day fishing.
wind really gets you when your motoring from place to place but you usually can find a cove that's out of the way and you hope you can ketchm there. Then you hang on for dear life when you motor back to your launch!
Even Robbie and Jeff might have to stop slaying them pulling and go find a cove.
Way to hang in there with the wind. Nice mess of fish thanks for sharing
