The winds didn't quit, plus I had broken my transducer off the bottom of the boat and had no sidescan, which is what I was using to find bait and fish.

Boat control was "out of control" even with my 101 lb thrust Terrova.

Not to mention I was soaked from the waves and snow.

Was that you and Ed by the bluffs just before you get to Spring creek? If it was I was that "other crazy guy" that rolled in around noon time. I was rigging up to troll jigs and within minutes the boat was almost white. I have a 40lb thrust so you can imagine how that went, I pointed the boat into the wind set the motor on 5 (highest speed) and basically stood still in the water. I finally got up closer to the shore and a little out of the wind where I could lower the trolling motor speed but the gusts were killing me, getting lines tangled or snagged on the bottom when the boat stalled. I finally rigged up with 1/2oz sinkers and spider rigged in a slow troll mode, if the boat stalled it was no big deal. Set the jigs up about 16 feet deep, caught fish on red/chart, black/chart, blue/white and pearl /speckle in TM's. I wound up putting 10 nice keepers in the boat and caught around 20 short fish with a hybrid about 2# and some small yellows in the mix also. I caught fish in 17 to 30 FOW, the riggs were always at 16 feet. biggest fish I caught was when I was going to the other side of the river bed in about 37 FOW. I marked a ton of fish in deeper water. Wind and cold considered I pulled out of the water feeling like it was a good day, even if the wife has made an appointment for me to see a head doctor.

have a good one,
Ray

Wasn't me, I was in Drake's Creek in Old Hickory Lake.
