Blue bird days

[scrat]

Well I reckon I need to watch what I wish for. It has been windy weather lately so I wished that the wind would stop. Worst thing in the world for me the last two mornings. Blue bird days pretty blue sky and no wind none at all. Been catching fish fairly good until the past two pretty days. What do you all do when this happens to you. Seems as though the fish were running from everywhere I went. Can they see that good when the wind is not blowing. I even tried casting and did catch a few but seems that real pretty days are the worst time to fish. Just about the time I think I have this fishing for crappie figured out they throw me a curve. What or how ya'll fish for crappie on these blue bird days. Thanks for your help on this everyone.

I usually fish deeper and close to the bottom tight to cover, high pressure effects fish less in deeper water, IMO

Exactly !! And it also doesn't hurt to fish early and concentrate on the banks that offer shaded cover. A slower retrieve & more accurate presentation doesn't hurt, either.

Light penetration is way greater on a calm, sunny day ... waves break up the incoming light, and what the fish can see above the surface. A slight chop on the surface was what my Grandpa called "Newlight waves" ... "Newlights" being a nickname he used for Crappie.
