I was able to find a couple of hours to fish today and decided to try my luck with this crazy wind. I did a little research on fishing in windy weather and I saw lots of information saying it was great for catching fish if you focused on the shoreline where the wind was blowing into. I tried a shallow crankbait, a spinner bait, some swimbaits and even a spook. Got nothing! Not even a nibble. It's been a while since I've been skunked and it sucks. So, what tricks/techniques do you use on windy days? The alternative is to stay home... which I would rather not do.

I fished yesterday as well and fought the wind. I wanted to fish Texas rigged soft plastics, but couldn't. Swimjigs and lipless baits were what I used for 3 hours. Lots of walking too!

Sometimes these cool fronts hurt fishing. Keep trying!!

Fishing the pockets with worms, wacky or Texas...anything can happen.

Fighting that wind is a chore though...

Fronts are definitely affecting the pescados! These warm days gotm thinking thinking hard about hitn points to! The technique is use since I am primarily banking for sandies or anything with stripes is.... the on a1-2 oz slab of your choice and fish into wind or parallel w/ waves.. swim it or (throw it out count to five reel in) bounce it off the bottom while reeling.. hard clay bottoms is your friend. Changes daily no doubt.. you got to just go when you can! Tip.... keep your catch down and be low key!

I mangled the bass yesterday off of tx rigged brush hogs. I just upped the weight and letterrip. They were glued to the bottom since that cold came thru

Fished Texana today windy chocolate milk caught one redear and a baby gator booooo

I did try some tx rigged senkos & lizards. But between the wind hitting the line and the waves, I decided I wouldn't be able to tell if I had a bite or not. I think upping the weight would help to steady the line and get it down to the bottom quicker. It makes sense that they were on the bottom since I got nothing on the shallow/floating lures I used. Looks like another cold front coming through today & tomorrow so I'll see if I can try that out. Thanks!

Me too and I couldn't believe it. They were holding tight to cover but when the worm came by, it was on. Fun day.

Slow and tight to cover. Wacky worms have been best for me

what kind of water are you guys fishing? Creeks? Ponds? I've had good luck getting fish out of cover in creeks. But most of the neighborhood ponds are kept clean and it's hard to tell where the fish could be hiding when they go deep.

I also went fishing today. It was very tough with the heavy wind and the post frontal conditions. However I did manage to catch 3 fish. I used a Gene Larew Hard Head in 5/16oz on a MH rod and I had my back to the wind. Put a reaction innovations sweet beaver on there.

caught about 50 yesterday on wacky and dropshot when the weather gets all funky you have to get really finesse!

rattle traps are what i turn to in the wind. Spinnerbaits and chatterbaits are good too.

It's all part of fishing. Keep on fishing and good things will happen!
