I prepped the boys mentally for the wind, to keep the complaining to a minimum haha.  Was the 3^rd trip to Acker (Dec, March both COLD windy), Friday was warm YES!

I was prepared to follow a certain plan for baits according to videos online about the wind (chatterbaits, jerkbaits, cranks, spinnerbaits).  Few hours in tied on a Lake Fork 10” ribbon tail worm and it was really obvious they wanted to eat.  We boated around 20-25 on the day, lost another 7-10 spitting the bait, broke off one on under water structure felt big…

Landed a 5 pounder, was the hardest fighting fish I can remember ever fighting in my life seriously.  Caught it straight across from the ramp, by a lone massive dead tree in the middle on tx rig 10” worm.  Sons landed several in the 3’s.

Saw a ton of bedding fish, or at least until I let my boys wear my Costas then I was blind to anything under water.

Fished from 830am-515pm (left the house @ 545am)  cooked hot dogs on the tailgate, was an amzing day.  Finally saw Mr Cody, and felt great to shake his hand & introduce him to my sons.  Let him know how truly grateful we were to fish on his land. 

The wind died COMPLETELY @4PM, dead flat across the 50 acre lake after pounding us all day.  The bite stopped at the same time, as did our energy we were BEAT but very happy.
