Thanks for any information you're willing to share. I'm fishing a tournament there next Saturday so, I'm trying to get prepared!

5/15/2017 7:03:00 AMNo problem...Goodwin is a N/S oriented lake and is just big enough to get wind from most any direction. On clear, sunny days it is often from the N, NE, NW. Storms from the S will result (of course) in the wind from the same direction. Early morning can be calmer than later when it starts to warm up, but that's pretty much standard anywhere. I don't have power poles, so have resorted dropping a short anchor line if there's a section of water I'd like to fish, but am drifting too fast.
Water clarity varies from crystal clear later in the summer, to cloudier right now. I think we could see the bottom about 6'-8' down last week. In other words, it may blow from any direction, at any speed and clarity might be 3' or 15' :-) Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Good luck at the tourney, let me know how you do...
