Windy day on the lake

[bluebasser86]

Me and Peter fished La Cygne yesterday. Everything we had both seen said windy in the morning and then calming down by about 8am. We got there at about 7:15 and it was windy so we hit the point right across the cove from the ramp. I caught a small one on a jerkbait and then a little bigger one on a Little John. Right when I got mine in the boat Peter hooked a fish on a swimbait, got it to the boat, and it popped off just when it got to the surface. It was probably 5-6 pounds. For the next several hours we fished anywhere we could stay out of the wind, which left up pretty limited since there was 4 and 5 foot waves on the mainlake. I missed a couple on a shakeyhead and caught a couple tiny white bass on crankbaits. By 1 we still hadn't caught another fish so I netted some shad and we went back to the outlet. Even with live shad I think we only caught 5 or 6 more bass. The biggest of the day was just shy of 4 pounds. Wind never did calm down until we were leaving.
