Fished Sunday morning and it was a bizarre current indeed. Have fished that wind direction in that location a hundred times and never seen that before. Had caught some shad earlier that died so dropped a few in the water and they started floating straight into the wind right on the surface. But you are right, the fish were still biting

But you are right, the fish were still biting I knew you would know exactly where I was talking about despite my map. Your responsible for 1 of those lol. It was very strange for sure. I actually experienced that current the week before as welll but didnt fish the other pile to see the exact opposite so close by.

Sometimes there's more truth to a myth than just a theory. If anyone is interested in how water is pushed by the wind and goes the opposite direction of the wind, read causes and occurences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rip_current

On Lewisville, I have often seen the current flow in the opposite direction of the wind. The south east wind will push the water up and it will "stack" and push north west under the north end of the I35 bridge. When this happens, it will flow back to the south east under the south end of the bridge even though the water will be slack under the south end. The fish will stage on columns and bite best on a jig drifting with the current. The stacked water is finding its own level and going back out to the main lake that the wind pushed it out of.
Preserving Texas fishing heritage one lure at a time.
