[QUOTE="Allen, post: 321860, member: 389"] KDM is thinking kinda similar as to what I've always thought. The choppy waters do stir things up, so the baitfish may have somewhat higher chances of finding a meal themselves, but they are primarily looking to hangout where they are harder to find themselves. That's in the muddier waters. Too bad for them that walleyes have some of the best vision in the freshwater fish around here, so walleyes in particular like to lurk along the mud line and there are times where this has led to some really incredible fishing for me. Literally, I have seen walleyes roll in the surf and land on Sak's shoreline only to let the wave carry them back into the water. Of course, I've also had my boat blown up on the shore a time or two as well, it's tough to fish in 3 ft of water when you have 2+ ft waves. But if the boat is light enough, get after them! For the actual behavior in fish? There probably isn't a "too much wind" thing, for safely fishing it's all on your skills, equipment, and comfort zone. I would way rather fish the lakes on windy days than the damn river. Having both wind and current to fight can wear a person out. [/QUOTE]
