Clouds & Wind Return! (& Kick Fishing up a Notch!!)

Hello, everyone! Today, we've got great fishing conditions with clouds AND wind. That means that the fish should be chewing (and they were!)! I started out with Berkley Choppo 120 to gauge the activity of the fish & once I caught a bunch (& confirmed they were charged up)....I bumped up to my swimbait rod w/ a 6" FishLab Bio Shad Wakebait in the hopes of hooking some bigger fish. After that, I tried a whopper plopper 110 & 6th Sense Speed Wake. All the baits worked today & that's all I could ask for in a fishing trip! So, come along with me, as I head out into the wind & catch a bunch of bass on a variety of baits.
