Bass anglers can find plenty of reasons to cuss the wind. For starters, it throws casts off-target, chaps your hands and face, blows rain down your neck and makes boat control an exercise in frustration. However, for pro anglers competing on the cast-for-cash circuit, wind is wonderful.
“Throughout most of the year, I’d much rather fish on a day with some wind blowing than when it’s dead calm,” says Oklahoma bass pro and former fisheries biologist Ken Cook. “The wind can jump-start the food chain and get bass feeding. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the bite go from awful to awesome after a stiff breeze started blowing.”
Cook and other top pros know how wind affects bass location and behavior, as well as how to adjust their lures and presentations for windy spring conditions. Following their advice might just change your view of spring bassin’ in a stiff breeze.
