is it me or does it seem there are a lot more windy days this spring.  I was out today and there were 2 foot waves with whitecaps all over my lake.   not sure i have fished a calm day yet this year.  love them calm days on a clear water lake with smallies.

It got a little bumpy on LSC today.....I got a little wet when I was playing with my GPS instead of paying attention to my driving.....

NOAA said 1 footers, but I thought they were more around 2+

I live in Almont and we are still digging out from the wind shears from last saturday....I have never seen as much destruction from the wind minus a tornado or hurricane...

I've been say that since winter...the wind has not stopped.  Can you remember 7 days in a row with light winds?  Dang the weather patterns are changing.

I was afraid of this...

cold front after cold front in the spring! :-[

I don't mind it because come June, we'll all be baking out in that sun, and wishing we had some wind and rain.

thedude

wind really helped the fishing today... was blowing across a weed flat at 8mph going with it, but kept the fish active all day, so i'm not minding it so much. 8)

where were you fishing dude man?

matt

I've been loving the wind lately...They seem to be much more active this year as well.

No complaints here... ;D

djkimmel

I've found I can make the wind stop by wanting it... and make it blow by not wanting it... Over and over today. But yes, I was fishing. And it wasn't Lake St. Clair... or Saginaw Bay. :o

So it's okay. ;D

Sounds like the old "some days I love it and some days I hate it and some days I love to hate it!!!"

I've thought... since the wind so often does the opposite of what I want it to do right at that moment... I should be able to use reverse psychology on it?? So far, no such luck ;D

maybe when they build all the Wind Farms the wind will die.  East wind with white caps as i type this.  at least the water is warming up a bit so the breeze is not so cool.

You know... I could kill two birds with one stone that way. I should push for a LOT more wind farms!!!

Feel like I'm helping the Earth with cleaner power and once enough of them are built... the wind goes away. ...of course ;D

Yeah but DK, the wind can be good for us fisherman at times.  We have all seen where the wind died down to nothing and the bite shut off.  I always like a little breeze......you know like anything less than 10mph.  I remember a club tourney on Erie a couple of years ago where the wind was blowing lightly early and by 1100 hours it was blowing up the lake to 4 and 5 footers.  During this time the bite improved 10 fold and the bigger fish were biting better the harder it blew.  That was a day I wished I had a little bigger boat.  I ended up heading back to the River at about 1130 with the weigh in at 1500.  I tried to upgrade my catch in the river but was only able to cull one fish there.  I ended up with over 20 pounds and 1st place.  Out in the lake I had a limit early and upgraded my whole catch twice as the wind blew harder.  Wish I could have handled staying out on the big lake longer but I am safety minded before anything else.  My partner that day ended up in 2nd place about 2.5lbs shy of my weight or something like that.  I also had big fish of the tournament which was over 6lbs.  I remember being sore for quite a few days after that.  I ain't no spring chicken anymore.......just chicken!!!!    :o

fished 4 days last week.  Had whitecaps every day.  I think it must be Global Winding of something.  there were 3 footers on Cass yesterday.  Even gave Cheetam a shower when we hit a wave.
