High winds made for difficult conditions on Saturday, pm. I managed to land 12 bass of which 7 were harvested. The remaining fish ranged from 15 to 17 inches and were taken on Sencos.

Must have been that way everywhere. I was at JJJ at that time and almost got blown off the lake. Water was actually choppy for a couple of hours.

How was the grass and weed coverage when you were at Deer Trail?

A challenging for all, it appears. The wind just seemed to constantly change direction, making it hard to find a spot protected.
Grass and weeds were no problem. Nice property. Wish I could be there today. As so often happens, winds are light today. Figures!

Hey Tom,
I was just up the road a bit on Timber Lake for the Saturday PM time slot and the winds were outrageous. The gusts were 30+ mph. I was able to make a loop with a rope and tie off on different stumps but unfortunately Deer Trail doesn’t have that type of cover available. I noticed all week that the forcast kept changing but I had no idea the wind was going to be such a beating. Glad you were still able to fish. My trolling motor batteries got thrashed.
