Torture is a good word for today. Massive wind, big waves, and gear failures is what I encountered- and a bunch of smallish bass. I got to the launch around 7 and almost went home it was so miserable. But then the rain stopped and the wind slowed a bit and I took the bait and got on the water by 7:30. I found some sheltered water in an arm and started finding the bass there too. I caught somewhere between 8 and 12 bass, I can't remember, plus at least 5 lost and also pulled in a sunfish and a White bass that was decent sized, the first one I've ever caught there. After a while the storm gods came out and it was like paddling in a hurricane to get back to the bay in front of the park. A lot of the time it seemed like the wind was hitting me from multiple directions making it almost impossible to move my boat and I took on a few gallons of water. After that I just stayed in front of the park, first casting and then trolling and believe it or not caught several bass trolling which almost never happens. I left around 1:00 because I was worn out and actually tired of fishing. There weren't many other crazy people out fishing, just a few boats that launched hours after I did and I only saw one of them catch anything, so I think I did pretty well considering. They seemed to all be waiting for the wind to die down but it never did today.
