You would think that if they aint fishin they would be at least BS'in, lol.

[MCS]

U figure right? So I got gifted a berkley lightning rod. MH/F looking for a cheap real to put on it. Been trolling fleabay....Abu Torno...Quantum lite....ten bucks. LOL

[LgMouthGambler]

Spend the money and get something decent. Those rods are under rated, they are very good for the money. Comparable to some $100 rods IMO. Spinning or casting?

MCS, I think the daylight saving time, knocked the wind out of a lot people's sails. Mine included. When we had people fishing and posting, the momentum of the conversations began. With the holidays upon us soon, I get the feeling, momentum will slow down. I will be around, to keep this afloat.

[JaxBasser]

The weather and the lack of time in the day has really hurt my fishing time. Hoping to get out soon though.

I was out today and was hoping to post something but I cannot figure out this bite right now.......the winds are ripping making bottom bouncing tough, and they won't touch a moving bait for me at the moment.  I managed one today around 16 inches but didn't bother ASSuming I would find them as the day went on.  After the front pushes through and the weather stabilizes maybe it will turn them on over here???

Man I have been having a time figuring things out myself just sometimes things click once in a while. As afar as weather up hear another front or two coming through this weekend, but they gotta eat sometime hopefully it is when I am on the water.

You need to find protected water out of the wind and chop. The fish will be waiting there.

^^^this. My first 19 two weeks ago was taken in a protected cove out of the wind. Now today the whole lake was chop but the two I got were in the area of least disturbance.

Today's top times: 9-11am, 3:30-4:30pm, and 9-11pm. Good luck.

I'm only fishing on the weekends and even then I'm ensnared in wedding nonsense and planning a football party coming up! We are taking the kids to Okeechobee for some wildlife thing to see the gatorboys. The poles will probably take a ride lol.

That's what I was thinking, I was out there for 6 hours hoping to find that "magic window" as I have in the past during incoming fronts.  I started working windblown areas, moved to a couple coves near some wind blown currents.  I downsized a bit after moving baits weren't getting it done to a trick worm and a creature bait.  NADA!!! haha, How's Okeechobee, thinking about going back there in a week or so??

[Phil_M]

Caught this one on Tuesday evening before the blow.  All this toad talk had me using a white frog (sorry for the Blurrrrrrr)

[fishingator]

I <3 kayak fishing!

[bostonsox2904]

This cold front w/ strong wind and DST is creating some tough conditions! I've only been out a couple times but I've been favoring the lipless crank and swimbait (heavier of my lures.) Whats your go-to for windy conditions?
