Wow, overwhelming responses. Fishing is such a science.. you kind of need to have some knowledge of fish behavior, meteorology, geology, biology... freakin crazy. I have so far to go... I thank you all for the great advice.
You wouldn't think it to listen to my fishing habits but I probably have 50+ crank baits lol... What's the saying, lures catch more fisherman than they do fish.. I am GUILTY!!! if you want to get some confidence in cranks, keep it simple, tie on a 1.5 squarebill in a shad or chartreuse color, get on the TM and throw it around every piece of cover you see in 6' or less.

And bang them off the cover. Those squarebills will come thru some junk.

Good stuff here. I will add that a C-Rig with big weight depending on depth is great on windy days. Also will say that a TM with digital anchor changed everything for me. Set the anchor and focus on fishing. I have the OG model Minn Kota powerdrive 2 24 volt and it still gets the job done.

When it gets windy, I like to fish the wind currents where they snake through visible cover. Works for the salt and the freshwater.

I can handle blue bird and windy. Blue bird and calm I cannot. I prefer too windy over not windy enough any day. Calm days just seem to be a waste of time or maybe I just talk myself out of catching fish because of the conditions.

Bluebird and calm is pure poison to me.
