I knew heading out that with the wind, this trip was an iffy proposition. Pulled up to the lake and debated about turning around. Tried fishing anyway. White caps over half the lake. Didn’t bother launching the boat...that would have been a disaster. Lake is 100% full and water looked great. Weed beds surrounded the bank going out 10-20 yards but about 6 inches under the surface. Only could fish the dam and west bank to cast with the wind. Could not reach or get down to deeper water. Could only use weedless/weightless soft plastics. Wind had to be gusting in the 30mph range. After 4 hours of getting blasted by the wind, called it a day at 4:30. Caught two culls and two 15 inchers. The pier was soaked with waves slapping over it. Oh well..next time.
