Then the Big Bad Wind Came

I planned some fishing around a trip to Angler's Port Marine. I think we got on the water by 10:30 or 11am. "Tell Anthony to take the wind back to Knob Noster" was shouted over from Jeff via Jake. I tell you, the weather people were so off!

Amy and I chase a few big attacks around. Just as Jake was leaving we found three trees where we pulled 80% of our catch in. We had to we thru the dinks, but we were catching fish. Amy doesn't scope but managed 7 keepers and lost a track at the surface. We took a quick break around 2pm to grab jackets. By then I was sitting at 9 fish.

Shortly after we headed out I found another tree stacked with 10" and up and they were hungry! In 5 mins I had the other 6 in the LW. I tried to convince Amy to finish her limit there. "My fun meter was pegged at 2pm" was the response I got. So, we left with her 7 and my limit.

Wind blew and brought the cold. I fought the TM and finally tied off to a tree.

I didn't feel like staging them on my counter this time.

Good job and nice mess of fish.

Not bad way to display crappie.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing

The girls grabbed some whoppers right off the bat but as the wind picked up, the crappies stopped biting. Flying blind, I thought they moved on. I marked plenty in the adjacent channel but they wouldn't bite for the spider rigs either. The girls said they had enough fun and after 3 days in the wind, I had too.
I was excited for this first picture, but then Jeff and Anthony have new trucks (What's missin Slab? :dono).

Was fun till the wind got in there! Seemed like it was at just the right speed and angle to make staying in position miserable. Still had fun good to see Jake and Anthony again. Thanks for a fun day Jeff.

Mine isn't new, I've had it for 2 years. It just has a new engine in it. [emoji14]

looks like the wind blew them fisheye's right into the boat, nice work

Nice job, guys (and girls!)....Anthony, glad you were able to limit out finding that final tree all stacked up. Great post. Great story! Makes me wanna get out!!

smiles on the gals faces and the cooler shot says all you need to. Good time was had by all despite conditions. way to adjust.

You know the tying off to a tree part was our success early on. My new boat has some serious battle scars from that week of trips to and from. We ate fish Tuesday evening, Friday evening and then again Sunday evening. I had a single bag of fillets left after donating some to a friend's retirement party. Yes, this crazy guy gives fillets away.
