Growing up in North Dakota I have come to the conclusion the wind will blow almost everyday. During the walleye season we face many different situations.
Wind is definitely one that causes the most problems.
I think I can count on one hand how many times we have had the perfect wind in the last ten years. I use boat breaks all the time to help keep my bait on the bottom. It can be used in drift situations, or it can slow your boat down while trolling. I carry three different sizes with me at all times. This allows me to adjust my speeds according to the wind speeds.
