On a smaller lake/ big pond, (cuz thats all there is in the tomball cypress area ), what is better, no wind or wind? I usually have a little bit at a place in katy i fish but last night i went and the wind was so bad it was taking my bait at least 2-3 feet off where i wanted it... thanks for the help!

I would rather have it windy. It not only cools me off when I fish it breaks up the water surface and I think that helps out the fishing.

I use anchors a lot so the wind doesn't effect the way I like to fish.

Sometimes I hate the wind when I'm fishing plastics like weightless senkos and what not. But wind can be good for crankbaits

Remember, the wind is your friend! On the lakes that I typically fish, I let the wind determine where I'm going to fish. Sunny days and wind brings out the white spinnerbait bite. Also the wind keeps the bass from spooking so easily.

Does the wind work in your favor when you are targeting Crappie or Bass only?

Thanks!

A reasonable amount of wind helps. Wind adds current and oxygen to the water-fish will be more likely to feed and will be more predictable (windblown points, etc). The water disturbance from the wind will decrease the fish's ability to see you, the line, etc, thus easier to catch.

Thanks guys for all the help! More opinions welcome.

That's all I fish for! Crappie (Texas slang Crappy) and Bass is all I need. See my name CrappyBassfishindude!

Sounds crazy but I've caught lots of bass from the bank in 25mph winds with rattle traps. Crappie fishing is a lot different with winds.
