[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Stick to the west side of the lake when the wind is blowing. USUALLY, when the wind is blowing from the south or southwest, the waves have not had a chance to build on the west side whereas the east side can have a little more swell and white caps and be unfishable. Take two anchors to stablize your boat and minimize the swing off the anchor. This will help you keep your jig vertical, that is if you plan on jigging. Use heavier jigs if you have to.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I'd chance it and go. You may luck out and if you don't, you head home. If it's windy when you get there go have breakfast and try and wait it out. I've seen it go from heavy winds to a light breeze and calm water in less than an hour. Yes, by all means go and check it out.[/size][/font]
