Water temp 50-53 Water clarity .5-1ft Wind 17-29mph It was a very windy day today to say the least. The wind had me taking cover by the bridge part of the day after it got super windy. I focused on the main creek channel through the day. I found many fish cruising around deep points and drop offs in around 15-25ft of water. I was livescoping these fish which were suspended around 7-15ft under the surface. The Yum Brella rig with Strike King swimbaits. Most of the fish were cruising around looking for the big gizzard shad balls.
