A little wind can help the fishing if conditions are otherwise good. Plant debris blown up along a windy shoreline will attract insects, which in turn will attract baitfish, crawdads, and the bass that eat them. A steady breeze also breaks up the water's surface, making bass feel less exposed to predators and sunlight.
Fish will tend to spread out and face into the wind-blown surface currents, and may feed actively on the surface if minnows are present. This means you will often get more attention from your lure by casting into the wind, because the fish will be facing into your retrieve and are more likely to see it. If the wind is strong enough to limit your cast, try lighter line and a low sidearm cast.
When there is no wind, bass can get spooky. Cast into the shadows around weedbeds, thick cover, or large structures. If bass are in deeper water, look for structure around breaks where bass can find patches of shade.
