No doubt there are fish to be caught out of the wind.

I�m not much of a bank beater though, or one that covers a ton of water catching scattered fish.

I find fishing windy points and shores allows you to find fish that are grouped up. Instead of getting a bite or 2 at high percentage places, you can catch 10 or more without moving much.

I definitely don�t believe fish are going to swim across the lake to find a windy point. But fish that are usually deeper will likely move a little more shallow and follow the baitfish to the shore.

Also, Does the same hold true for a North wind in February?

If your going to fish in Texas, you better learn to fish in the wind. Yep, we fish in the wind.

Not normally

Depends. If I have folks with me that are not proficient at casting I will position the boat upwind so they can throw with the wind. If I am with someone that can hurl the bait a long distance I will hold the boat and throw into the wind.

This is my godson with a good one 5.52 from yesterday afternoon at JP. We were right out on the main lake with Spotlock running. Catching them on a 1/2 oz jig in 20' off a brushpile. Wind was blowing a steady 15 gusting to 20+ at times.

Throwing into the wind on this spot but others we locked upwind and threw back at em. I am amazed at how much better the Spot lock works on the new Ultrex compared to my early Gen Terrova. It really is a game-changer (there's that word again) for open water structure fishing.

I still carry one some days. If I find a point or rock pile loaded with fish I�ll drop the anchor instead of using up my battery on spot lock.

Yes! When most anglers run from the wind, I will sit in it all day.

More lake to myself and I find more fish in the wind!

Points or also overlooked retaining walls and bridges that are getting smashed by the waves all seem to work for me when the wind kicks up
