Fished Strawberry this morning. It was a nice warm morning but breezy and w#$dy all morning. We tried trolling, drifting, and a little vertical jigging when we could get the anchor to hold. Only managed 6 fish, all slot cutts. We saw good groups of fish on the sonar but usually couldn't stay on top of them for very long with the w%#d. I think it would have been much better fishing if the w%#d had died down a little so we could jig.

I know the wind can be a beast especially if you are in a small boat with 1 anchor. The wind usually wins and you need to have luck on your side....But at least you were able to catch some....Way to go

an anchor that won't hold is frustrating as hell. been there done that. I think that's why i love the front mount minkota! Those will keep you ontop of anything.
