The winds have been my favorite this week for catching fish. My favorite little pond this week gave up some nice bluegill throwing Beetle Spins and a small Yo Zuri L-Minnow through Lilly Pad areas, even though trying to use the fly rod the wind made it difficult to throw drifting over and around the pads.

The next day was on Stick Marsh. Already by early morning the winds were 10+ out of the SW. Our best lures for catching were a suspending jerkbait and something I rarely throw but my angler friend did was a white spinner bait. Waters are creeping into the 80 degree mark and I am happily waiting for the topwater bite to turn on.
