Yeah,after a big wind event the bite does slow down or shut off completely.Where we fish mostly in western basin where water is shallower I believe the biggest reason is water clarity.The direction and length of the blow definitely have an effect on how dirty and how long till the fishing gets good again.After a prolonged NE blow of 3 days,the fishing could be poor for a week at times.
We don't really fish much in the central basin and those winds/storms don't affect the water clarity as much,but the bite slows down there too.Could be the low barometric pressure.But sure other factors affect fishing in that deeper water.Would be interested on opinions of guys that fish in the central or eastern part of our lake.
