Wind, well once again it depends on the angle of the wind compared to current flow. You just have to work harder to keep the belly out of the line. One way to do that is to put your rod tip right down near the water at a 90 degree angle to your line. I dont do uplifting twitches ever, so I dont get as affected by the wind. Because the SP is lower than you on the bottom, even sideways twitches lifts it on and off the bottom. Hope that helps some.
