Hiding Out From The Wind AND Catching Fish!!
When clients from afar come to Devils Lake, they want to fish. In reality, I want to fish, all the time actually! So when the wind comes up, no matter which direction it is out of, we sometimes have to get creative. One thing I love about Devils Lake is the fact that no matter which direction the wind is from, there is a boat launch and a sheltered shoreline that is fishable.
Today was just such an instance! I am never going to go just to go. I go to catch fish regardless of the conditions, if I am not intent on putting fish in the boat then I am not going. Today was tough, boat control and staying the ‘bite zone’ was time consuming and at times frustrating; when we were in that zone though the fish were numerous and quality keepers.
What Depth You Ask?
A little deeper again, but a few in that shallower range too. We stayed in 14-26 feet of water all day.
What Color?
Blue!!
Blue again was a good color again today as was the ole ‘Devils Lake Gold’; ALWAYS have at least 1 Gold spinner down!!
We will see better conditions tomorrow and going forward as these gale force winds leave us!
Good Luck out there!
