The 3 HUGE Things Wind Does To Bass…{90% Of Anglers Don’t Know)

Randy has a discussion on how wind affects bass and gives tips and advice on how to deal with it.…#windy #calm #bassfishing #fishthemoment #fishing #bass

[@treylawrence8152]

Thanks Randy...this confirms my observation from past experience, that in cold water I like fishing areas that are sheltered from the wind, whereas in warm water windblown banks usually seem to be better. Great stuff as always--love the cerebral approach to fishing in contrast to so many other channels!

[@morganyoder4277]

This is definitely in alignment with what I’ve noticed as well.

[@mp5kfisher241]

A friend and myself fished a lake back in late winter/early spring in a strong north wind with 35 mph gusts and we tried many spots and the best area was up against wind blown rocks or riprap. One would think they wouldn’t be their because of crashing waves etc but they were up against those rocks awaiting bait fish and possibly warmer water from the rocks.

[@morganyoder4277]

@@mp5kfisher241 in the winter fish are on rocks no matter what the conditions are, there is too much warmth and food for them to care about the wind.

[@mp5kfisher241]

MOYO Bassin ahh ok, i tried deeper water most of the winter and not against the rock. I will be more concentrated on the rock this next winter.

[@morganyoder4277]

@@mp5kfisher241 even in deeper water if there’s rock you will find them. I’ve gotten fish out of 60 on rock.

Have watched this video multiple times and I can't disagree with anything Randy said here. I'm a muskie fisherman and have been for about 15 years or so. I feel like both bass and musky are predators and use wind to their advantage. Some of my best action days muskie fishing we're on Windy days. In warmer water situations, I feel useless on a day with little or no wind. I honestly believe both bass and muskie fishermen can learn things from each other because the fishing is not all that different from each other, just bigger baits with muskies. Very good video Randy.

Always happy to eat my cereal and watch your fishing videos in the morning! Before my fishing adventures got out yesterday! And caught some decent wild trout in the middle of the city! And got my driving learner’s permit! No fishing Mother’s Day weekend right now though😢😢

[@shortfatdude3406]

Thank you for the knowledge. It's videos like this that really help us step our game up!

[@dannyyork3742]

Yep have agree 💯. Cold wind, and cold water is toughest fishing for me. But onced water warms up, some best fishing!

[@fishyaleks9257]

Mental Monday and these videos 🙏🙏🙏

[@soonerfan1675]

Hi Randy, great information as always. Here n Oklahoma, we are blessed with BOTH wind and red silty water in many lakes. Personally, I have found success with what might normally be considered as nighttime baits such as; big black skirted spinnerbaits with a big Colorado blade, buzzbaits, and my homemade red & black rubber skirt jigs. Would be interested in learning your technique for low visibility with 15 or 20 mph wind.

[@Bigswollz]

Thanks for the video man. These are my favorite types of videos that you put out. Whenever I catch a fish after I make a decision on the water based off of the conditions I always tell the fish to thank Randy. Looking forward to the next mental Monday.

[@patrickmahoney3479]

Good info on wind and approaches to fishing it.

[@marcmot2284]

I love these beyond the superficial videos, no one does them like you

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Thx man

[@BodeknockerBrumbill]

This is spot on Randy! As you said this type of info is far more important than any specific lure stuff. I think it is also useful to think about wind in terms how it can push bait from deep channels up onto adjacent flats. This is super important for finding an aggressive afternoon bite on days when the wind picks up around mid day. Another deal is to consider places that were pounded heavily by wind on the previous day or two, which will keep fishing pressure off of a good spot until early the next day. I usually let the wind conditions guide me as to fish either on the main lake or back in a creek, always looking for the "goldilocks" amount of wind for the water conditions that you identified. Too many angler have their mind made up where they are going to fish without consideration for wind effects.

[@jacobdeitering8680]

I just had a banner day bass fishing once I recognized the winds affect on an area. The fish were located there because of the wind, positioned by the wind and the spot continued to reload due to wind. Great stuff Randy!

[@ronniemitchell9221]

That was a really good video. Breaking it down into very simple terms. Good starting block for most anglers.

[@dangkhang9479]

Best condition I have ever fish is super cloudy day (sprinkling rain) with 5mph wind that just ripple the surface of the water. Fish are so shallow and they are so aggressive.

Working 60-70 hours per week, I don't have the luxury of fishing when conditions are ideal .. I fish when I can. Some great pointers though..

We dream of the days we can just fish 60-70 hours a week lol get em when you can right!?

[@chrismann7650]

Thanks for clarifying so many things about fishing on windy days especially temperatures … I had a question about fishing Mud lines created by the wind…are they ever a fish holding windy day feature? Thanks again.

[@clintperry799]

Thank you. My simple opinion is , I always thought that bass bite better on warm windy days. On calm days I like to fish weight less soft plastics worm. Heck I like to fish worms anytime. 🙂

[@joshuamurphy8806]

I have a fishing spot on Beaverdam Reservoir in the warmer part of the lake section in Gloucester, Virginia you answered all my questions on the wind veribles I feel I will be ready to go when I do go bass fishing

[@jamierice3189]

I really like to hear your thoughts on boat position on windy days.. should you fish into the wind, fish with it at your back.. maybe even quartering into it..both shallow and off shore

[@jimmckenzie5453]

Great info. Wind is my friend. Curious about flow through highland reservoirs like Table Rock. High waters in the system require flood gates to be opened from beaver to Bull Shoals. Does this increased flow affect bass positioning and if so how? Thanks, hope you will address this.

[@melissamessmer6544]

I always watch the weather and especially the wind direction the day before I plan on fishing I have found that you can find fish quickly by fishing the bank the wind blew against the previous day

[@patrickmahoney3479]

I have found this to be very true.

[@robertbrost7777]

Good stuff. I cast either with the wind at my back or, with the wind blowing directly at me. I have to find those areas of the bank to fish. A lot of my techniques are finesse or light tackle and, the bow in the line created by winds from left to right or vice versa make it impossible for me to fish those techniques.

[@jamesmeyer7034]

No shortage of wind in Texas thus far this spring. Even by Texas standards. It’s been fairly howling virtually everyday. Supposed to die down some this weekend but temperatures forecast to be 106 Saturday and cooling off to 103 Sunday. I’ve only lived here for 62yrs, but don’t recall such persistent winds and temperatures this severe this early.

[@sandramcmullin7855]

Thanks

[@nonrevhogan8938]

Always great info. Been trying to learn more and have more patience when fishing in windy conditions. Not a big fan when it keeps moving boat all around and pushing me where i don't want to go. More to pay attention to i guess. But using it to an advantage for fishing is new to me. really enjoy listening every week to your experience. On a side note i really like it when you get outside and was hoping that one day you would start to do some on the water videos putting some of the techniques on the boat. One older go pro would do the trick. Sure Jonny would help with a simple set up and boy would it be helpful and really help the channel grow i bet. You always are explaining angles and spots. It would be great to see you show us on the water. Keep up the great work! Ed

[@markhogquist2000]

Good stuff 👌

[@terrytresemer2864]

WIND, now that's a love hate relationship. Last weekend we had 24 - 36 mph winds. We still went out, had to test the lower unit. Such wind limits ones options but it was still doable, as it oxygenates the water and when I can I'll use it to drift points & bank lines. It does greatly increase the work load and yet it gives me an idea where the fish are. Just stay out of the white caps in a bass boat. That's not a pretty pitcher.

Last weekend had light stained waters. Temperature dropped 3 to 5° and 20 to 30 mph winds and my fish flat shut down. I don't know if they shut down or if they moved but they were there the day before and that weather change destroyed it

Where do you get theses percentages you use on you titles. I love your channel but I think it takes away credibility when you use percentages. Just my opinion . Great info about the wind, I find myself thinking about your videos when I’m trying to figure out what the fish are doing. The subtle things make a difference
