Love the wind.

  Usually helps if I cast with it. Propels The boat silently. The fish are more eager to bite after I go by.   Some fish hook themselves.

The Lord likes to make it blow when I'm on a hot bite pitching laydowns and bushes. He finds it amusing watching me try to pitch into tight places and control the boat in a stiff breeze. ?

Fish psychiatry 101. I love the wind. I love the wind. The wind

loves me. The wind loves me. *birdsnest* AWW *#&&@$%

It's a good thing to fish into the wind which causes a current which the fish face into. This way they will also see your lure sooner. If your boat drifts over them it creates a shadow & noise right over them.

We are a tourist area with screaming boats of all sizes & speeds.  Almost every weekend. The fish love the noise. It causes small stuff to dart out. I catch as many eating sized & C & R sized fish right in the boat paths.

I try to fish on the windier days.

Do the fresh water plankton stay up high on cloudy day ?  I ask, because those are my best perch days.  For catching them, for a good friend, that is home bound.

That's a typical cycle. Cloudy days, the plankton rise up to catch as much sunlight as possible for photosynthesis.

Even in the dead of winter I do best on the windward side even though it's the least comfortable for me.

Thank you very much. Now a lot makes more sense.  Victor also thanks you.

Wind is okay I suppose. I really like clouds. Cloudy today and had a decent day although it was very chilly.

Around here moving baits always work better with a little wind.

Yep, ripples/chop on the water is spinnerbait time!

I love "some" wind. I don't want it to be dead calm, but we have a lot of days with 20+ mph winds that I'm not much of a fan of but I still go.
