Wind isnt bad..but when its going up river it just compounds the effects. I took a big rolling whitecap in the back of the boat so i decided it was in my best interest to hug the north shoreline and ease on back to flippers! LOL....i had 1 hand on the ole inflatable life jacket on that trip back. Some big whopper logs floating out there too....some just barely under the surface. Ya think to yourself....man if somebody hits that....especially flying on the water its gotta be game over for that person. 50mph + hitting a several hundred pound (if not more) log directly on the shaft of your motor! Talk about destruction.
I dont think ive fished 1 time out there when the wind wasnt blowing. Either blowing out to deeper water or blowing me too far up the ledge. Ive got 10 days off at Christmas and i plan on being out there at least 5 of them days.
Lousy weather or not it was great to be back on the river!
