Have you ever heard the expression wind from the east fish bite the least? Well, I never put much stock in the phrase until tonight. It definitely seemed to shut down the walleyes. I did catch the one and missed a couple others, but the fish just seemed to nip at the bait, not attack it.
However, the small mouths did not seem to mind the East wind.
