As you can see from the accompanying video, the wind is blowing right down the chute that is the St. Lawrence River, at an estimated 10 to 15 miles-per-hour, although everyone on the water today says it feels more like 25 mph.
The anglers wanted some wind today, as wind and sunshine make for ideal smallmouth bass fishing conditions. But this is a lesson in "be careful what you wish for." It's hard to catch anything when it's an adventure to remain standing in your boat.
