Did I tick off the Gods of wind??
I swear, I musta done something to tick off the wind Gods cause I just can't catch a break from the wind this year. No matter where I go or what I do to try and get outta the wind for a little while, I just can't get there.....Moments after arriving in a smooth as glass cove walled with 80ft tall pine trees....here it comes....right outta the back of the cove, or trying to blow me into the back of the cove.....Pull up next to a cliff face in a creek bend, and suddenly the wind seems to be coming right outta the rock face....REALLY??.....Come on Aeolus, cut me some slack dude. The winds came from all points on the compass every time I'm on the water.
Well, after fussing and fighting with the wind all day, all I could muster was a hand full of dinks.....My fishin buddy Ron never got bit. We did enjoy playing with our new down imaging unit so the day wasn't a total loss.

It's been the same way here for me too. Constantly fight the wind for boat control, and trying to make accurate casts. It about takes the fun out of fishing. At least you caught a few today. I got one dink, lol. Getting a chance to practice with the DI unit was definitely a plus in your day. Hopefully, the wind will subdue itself soon.

I don't think I've been on the water this year when I didn't have white caps at some point during the day. I hate fighting the wind but it's just a part of life in the midwest unfortunately. At least you caught a few.

And make that a +5. Every time the kitty hits the water the past couple of months, the wind goes to howling. And after I fight it for a while, I will duck in to a cove only to have it switch directions and push on me again. I can say this though, I have become fairly decent on the trolling motor and holding in the wind with the nose in it. And I don't backlash near as much chunking in to it. I guess there is always a positive.
And do to the nature of this time of year when the wind is blowing the pollen out of the trees, I am glad I didn't buy an aluminum boat. I watched a guy try to come in on a point behind me the other day and he couldn't hardly get from the steering wheel to the trolling motor with being flipped around 9 ways to Sunday. He didn't stay on the main body to long and disappeared in the cove.

As a side bonus, I have gotten considerably better at using the trolling motor in constantly changing conditions..
