Mile Hill (IA) Fishing Report 20070930

[Bassthumb]

Got there about 2:00 PM, and launched,  Windy, but workable.  Got out a flipping stick and a finesse rod.  Promptly lost a jig, and tied on a GP power worm.  No fish.  Picked up the shaky head, and started down the bank.  Caught one on a BPS squirming worm in GP.  THEN the wind cut lose.  Started taking 50-55 MPH gusts (totally unforecast by our local weather guessers) and worst of all, the gusts were swirling between the bluff walls.  One second I would get slammed from the west, then it would hit from the east!  Finally decided to trailer, but with the approaching Low pressure, the bite suddenly picked up.  Ended up catching 4 before I decided that the possibility of getting blown out of the boat wasn't worth any LMB.  Left at 4:45 and promptly broke my trailer plug and drove home with no lights.
