Every One Knows It’s Windy

I’ve been working out of town, so I only had a 5 hour window to go fishing. Went back to Noname and it was Windy!!
Found a pocket that was a little protected and quickly caught 3 on my standard red and chartreuse tube on 1/24 oz jig. 7-11 fow. Then I decided to try some jigs I tied. They weren’t exactly in love with my creations. The wind got worse Really hard holding the boat still.
Great to be able to go! Released all fish Probably caught 8. Found several new trees in 11 fow. Should be good for the future.

Good report. Try figuring out what made them prefer the tube. Was it color, shape, profile, size, weight? Then once you figure it out try duplicating it with hand tie.

Hard to deal with the wind

So many variables!! Several times I have had crappie bite the shiney steel weight 18” above my jig. Tried the shiny headed jigs, so far didn’t seem to help.
What has been working for me is a 1/16 or 1/24 oz jig with a red head, and a Crème tiny tube in red and chartreuse with glitter in it. Berkley nibble in chartreuse

One thing that really seems to have a negative effect is a drop shot. The fish get spooked by the weight. I copied the guys on the Crappie Connection, and put the weight above the jig (at least a foot)
Thanks for the feedback!

Isn’t that a song??? Nice catch doc

Never knew all the words. Still don’t! You would think every one would know the words as many times they played it on the radio!!

Who's peekin' out from under a stairway
Calling a name that's lighter than air
Who's bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it's Windy
Who's tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin' at everybody she sees
Who's reachin' out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it's Windy
And Windy has stormy eyes
That flash at the sound of lies
And Windy has wings to fly
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)
Above the clouds
(Above the clouds)

Thanks JR!!
I have several memories of that song. I remember liking it and sort of singing along with it. I also remember that they played it nonstop on the radio!! Then I got tired of it. Sounds great now, and I like it! That’s just how they did songs back in the day! Working down near Lafayette. Where do I need to go eat?
