So just how windy was it?

High winds, I hate em, I hate em. They have spoiled a lot of planned fishing trips and today was no exception. Mike/HOF and I had planned on doing some dock fishing today, but cancelled because we heard there was going to be a breeze. A breeze, if we had gone, with two pound test line and panfish jigs, we would have been fishing horizontally, never touching the water. It was so windy today, airplanes and birds were flying backwards. Four different weather fronts moved through the area in 30 minutes. I drove to Winona today and never had to start the car, just put it in neutral and coast. I went out and filled my bird feeders only to see them blow over. I put out a winter decoration that is a snowman on the front porch, only to have it blow over and broke one of it’s arms. Set the garbage on the curb for Monday pickup only to see it sail two houses down, then go out pick up the mess and bring it back home. Looking out the picture window I half way expect to see my shingles take off flying. Oh, did I tell you I hate wind.

When the wind can move me, you know it’s blowing hard! It’s supposed to die down by morning – I hope.

Good Fishing,
Mike

45-50 mph here in La Crosse

Yea. My neighbor about 3 house down called and said he had minnow bucket come sailing threw his yard. Wind just blows.

Looking at the bright side….

It cooled off the lakes more…now just no wind and 10 degree temps…

Gee, You are ”WINDY” aren’t you?!!! Yes, let it die down, make some ice, then warm up some so we can go ice fishing. OR warm up bigtime so we can go open water spring walleye and crappie fishing. But since that isn’t going to happen for awhile we might as well hope for the good o’l ice so I can get in a ”fishin fix.” I also don’t like this wind. Yuk!!!
Thanks, Bill

RHW,
