Tough fishing in the relentless wind (pics)

And to make it worse the boat traffic in the bayou was terrible. Went back to Connerly bayou fri. and today and it was some rough fishing. It's hard to control the boat in 25 mph winds and some inconsiderate boaters that come by at full or half throttle in a small bayou. If the wind isn't blowing you over your spot then someone is washing you up on the bank. But it was still enjoyable being on the water. My friend Bobby and I caught 18 Friday and 15today. We had some better fish yesterday, with one that Bobby caught that was 2 lb. 2 oz. Didn't catch any over 2 today but still had some nice fish. All caught on jigs about 6 ft. deep in 8-10 fow. Water is warming nicely, today when we left it was 58 degrees. It won't be long if it stays warm and they will be moving shallow. If I can figure out where I can get out of the wind I'm going to somewhere less crowded tommorow. Don't mean to be complaining about the boaters, because it's their water too, just saying the fishing might have been better somewhere else.

Bobby with the 2-2 yesterday.

It sure can get tough with large crowds in close quarters. Just have to remember why you're out there. Looks like y'all did pretty good...and looks like Bobby is having a good time

Hey LA, I was there Friday too. My fishing buddy and I were talking that day about how good the fishing could be without all the boats. But, like you say, it's their water too. We only ended up with 9 and four of them came off a dock in the lake. We didn't go in the bayou until later in the day. Too many boats in a confined space for me. I'm ready for them to move shallow out in the lake!

Some good fish there Jerry. Glad you were able to go and sorry about the wind and other boaters. Seems like that happens to me everytime I go to Darbonne Bayou....
