Wind was dead calm in Prospect when I left, 4 towns away it was blowing 8-12 when I got to the lake. WTF, over!!! It gradually increased from there. 12-18 when I left at 1:30.
The early bite was non existent, 2 bites on a Dinger and broke off both in deep trees. Pulled out the Ultralight and lost 3 consecutive jigs in the Calico tree. Decided to head back out on the gusty main lake an try some shallower cover. Changed to Wacky Generals, and caught a pounder, (skunk's off). Ok I can work with this, hit the next tree and got slammed by a 2 pounder. He had a black upper jaw, and a couple jet black spots on him. Never saw that before, almost looked like paint. Found one more shady tree on the northeast side of the lake and got another little one pounder. By then it was blowing 15, sideways across the ramp so I called it a day. No fun wrangling the boat back onto the trailer.
