I've heard the only jobs where you can lie for a living is being a politician or a weatherman. Wind was supposed to be CALM at daylight yesterday and increasing to only 5 or 6, so I took a vacation day. As usual, they were way off. But I made the best of it. I figured out the best way for me to snipe the open water crappie was to put out my drift sock, let the wind push me, and only scan in front of the boat from the 11 o'clock position to the 1 o'clock position. I would pitch on the big fish and hope they were aggressive. That seemed to work better than fighting the wind. Adjust, adapt and overcome. Ended up with a dozen.
