[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 289866, member: 8014"] This is something I have been researching, and looking into for awhile. I am curious as to what others think. I have read multiple articles from pros, stating that one key part to being successful with walleye is understanding current, even in a lake. This made me think about how, quite often, a guy will catch fish pretty well in one direction, then cruise back through the same area in the opposite direction, and catch nothing, or maybe pick one off. My thoughts on this: The wind creates a current under water, or maybe "current" isn't quite right, but rather, it causes things to float in the direction of the wind. The walleye, in general, point themselves into that direction. This is not a hard and fast rule, but something to be mindful of, for me. As a general rule, I highly prefer to be fishing with the wind. Has anyone else felt like this has been true for them? You catch fish one way better than the other? Thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
