look for shelter from the wind like a lot of people said before me. where you go the fish should be because they dont like choppy waters i dont think. whenever its windy i just use a live worm and let it sink all the way to the bottom nothing fancy and just be patient on those windy days.

Drift with a drift sock if you're in a boat.If on shore I like fishing the section of the lake the high winds are blowing to and casting into the wind with the lightest spoon I can get away with. Tip the spoon with bait and work it with twitches and varying retreive speeds through the column of water .

Anywhere you can find shelter from the wind will be better, as long as thats where the fish are. The upwind side of the lake/pond is usually best, assuming there are trees to help block the wind. Casting downwind is naturally a lot easier, so that is a plus if it will still get your bait to the fish. No matter what the conditions are, the name of the game is to put your bait in front of a hungry fish. If you do, you'll probably catch him, and if you don't, you definitely won't. You can research…

You can research and read and study all you want to, and learn where everybody thinks your bait ought to be, but in the end it is the fish's opinion that really matters.

Fish along the back of boats in the marina, also by the rail under the boat slip that ties the posts together from slip to slip. No marina, docks and bridge pilings.

I would be trying to rig up a slip float, with a tiny jig. That way the wind can drift your offering through brushpiles, etc. It works like a dream.

In wind and waves use a thill bodied waggler float. Weight it so not much more than the red tip is sticking up. As the waves come and go it's like now you see it, now you dont't. Pay attention to this rhythm. Also put your rod tip under water and tighten your line up some. This method keeps your line under the waves and the floats body is also under the waves and your bait stays about where you want it.
