    Default Wind! Wind! Wind! Barnett Report Day Two


    Run and hide was the name of the game today and proper boat control was key. Winds blew straight 20 gusting to 35+, but the fish didn't seem to mind. Launched at Tommy's and ran upriver to try and find some calmer waters. Found a good ledge off the main river channel protected by some tall hardwoods. The water was calm but the wind was still a factor, without a steady focus on handling I was shooting upriver at 5mp+. Caught more fish on straight jigs seemed to catch better quality when tipped with a minnow. Myself and two other boats worked that same ledge all morning and all walked away with a limit before noon. No 16"ers today but had several 13-15. You know what they say, if you want to learn to catch fish in the wind, then you have to fish when it's windy!

    Caught most of them 3-6' deep in 14'-22' but I caught some 10' deep in 18'+. Caught some fish yesterday up shallow in 3-5' of water. I think you can just about find some fish anywhere you looks right now. The males all turned black in my live well. Water temp was 58.

    What does it mean if the males turn black in the live well?
