garry77 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Any of you have a particular bait that works well for you when it's choppy on the lake? I think mine is a big spinnerbait so far.Haven't had that much success in the wind though. :'( Quote

Infidel. Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 My most productive things to do when it is windy are 1) Burn a spinnerbait. (Especially a Screaming Eagle) 2) Lipless Crank 3) Deep Crank (3/4oz Fat Free Shad, DD22, Lucky Craft Flat CB D20) 4) Jerk Bait Quote

BiggerWorm Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Let me share a story of how wind can affect the bite. Once while fishing a tournament , me and my partner had flipped the heck out of some flooded brush with various plastics. Not even a bite. We pulled out to deeper water and began fishing a drop off. The wind began to gust, creating waves that were crashing into the brush we had just fished. We pulled back over to the brush and began flipping again. We caught our limit in about 20 minuits. A great lesson learned Quote
flippincrazy Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Spinnerbait, chatterbait, but any bait you like to throw will work. Wind is awesome, used to hate it, but now I don't mind to see it. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted January 15, 2008 Super User Posted January 15, 2008 Might surprise you but a Buzz Bait will work well on choppy water x2 forgot that one,especially if it is overcast,maybe a light rain and windy as heck.A buzz will mop the floor with em! Quote
fishinlunatic Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Another vote for the buzzbait. I tie on my double bladed buzz and chuk it as far as i can...works almost every time! Quote
