Allen, This hole of water has no creeks running into , there are some small coves!!!!! the dam is on the south and it stretches to the north!!!!!!! The fish have been on the deep points in the main body of the lake, with no wind block!!!!! Near the KANZA Tribal reservation, Kanza = WIND PEOPLE!!!!!! ERGO, the PRAIRIE!!!!!! :-)

Well Leo when you grow up in Oklahoma on the lake you learn to ski and fish behind islands or coves. I grew up on Grand Lake of the Cherokees and guess I am just so used to the winds.

Jen, Greg, I think you two will beat most of Californians on float tubes with your tree-trunk legs of steel. We hid ourselves in our bunkers until the wind died to a light breeze. LIGHT! From the breezes you're describing, seeing the churning the water that begin to turn the wakes into tsunami..I humble myself before you. That's not breezes! That's gale wind.

Find a creek that drops down about 15' below the floodplain.  Or, if you're on a lake, find protection from the wind where the bluffs are protecting you from the wind (several of those around here).

You can also use the wind to your advantage.  If you're fishing for big cats or Stripers, position yourself upwind, blow up a balloon, tie it to you line, chuck it out. and slowly strip off line as the wind blows the balloon rig towards your target.

I've got an idea for a new design for a Vertical Axis Windmill.  Might have to patent that.
