JB · 04-17-06, 04:14 PM

So ya hit the lake for a 8 hour day of bassfishing, got the trolling motor working fine, the batteries are all charged up, and what started out as a 10-15 mph wind about 8:00 in the morning, by 10:00 has changed to a sustained 20-30 mph wind..what type boat control do You use for the rest of the day?
A. Drift with the wind and cover water as quickly as possible
B. Take boat and point it towards the wind, and stand on the trolling motor
C. Avoid the windy coves and main lake, and hunt for calmer waters
D. Fish as normal and use a much heavier lures
E. Put the boat on the trailer and go to the house

The Kicker? after cruising the lake, you discover the wind is swirling and there's hardly anywhere thats OUT of the wind

What Would You Do?
