Great seeing someone else posting in this neck of the woods! Good job too. BTW, don't fight the wind! GO with it instead. Drifting from one side of the lake to the other will present your offering to a lot of suspended crappie, trust me! It may appear that you are going too fast, but you're not. And the crappie love a fast presentation with a heavy wind. They have to. Or they'd go hungry, especially up here in New England. I don't like crappie fishing if the wind is less than 10 mph.
