I think mother nature really dislikes me. Everytime I get a chance to fish (which isnt but about once every 3 months) the wind is up to high.

Whats a man supposed to do. I have fished in high winds before and normally dont mind. But my dad is still fairly sore from his open heart surgery. I dont think he can handle the waves running across the lake.

A wind friendly lake in Texas is one that has a lot of protection from a South wind...ie...a lot of the lake runs East - West...then you can fish the South side and be ok

Just thought I'd throw one out there. Texoma!

This time of year you should be able to find a good spot to fish from the bank , thus allowing your dad the opportunity to catch crappie without the hassle of a rough boat ride . I caught my limit sunday and again tuesday fishing from the bank in water 3 to 5ft deep . I was casting into 20 plus mile an hour winds tuesday using a slip bobber weighted down to where only the very top of the bobber was visible , it was a blast . Winds were out of the south/southeast and I fished the northern end of the lake . Good luck , hope your dad recovers and prospers , especially while crappie fishing .

Lot's of places on Belton to stay out of the wind, both north and south.

Icepick where are you fishing from the bank and catching Crappie?

DuckJerky has it right. In that sense, Grapevine is a pretty good lake to hit and close when the winds are howlin' outta the south. Texoma is another one.
