CONDITIONS ------------- Windy! Very Windy!

AREA FISHED ------------- Racoon Island, Brady, main lake, little venice

WATER TEMPERATURE-- ?

FISHING METHOD ------- Live line casting

BAIT/LURES USED ------- Live Minows

NOTES --------------------- It was one of the most windy days I have ever experienced on the lake. I tried fishing lures, Sinkos and many other lures, but the wind made it difficult no matter where I tried. I finally went to little venice and cast live minows without weight to the shore above the weeds and caught a nice number of crappie that came out from the weeds and you could see them grab the bait. Couple of nice size fish. All fish returned live. Just outside the weeds the small rock bass were all over the place and agressive.
