Lake wind

[SkunkedAgain]

I agree with everyone's comments, when the high side of prediction exceeds 10 mph I don't want to be on the water... Fishing isn't any fun if you're constantly trying to keep from sinking... Wind just ruins many a good fishing days... at least if you're looking at floating... Now if you want to go practice boat skills and empty out any valuable cargo and have good life vests and all... I have been known to have a lot of fun in an aluminum boat on a windy day, but I was riding the waves for fun, not wanting to fish and I knew that the water was only 3 feet deep so I could walk to shore if I sunk.... plus the boat was very reliable and I was young and dumb too... Plus it was a warm day so no worries of hypothermia... But at my current age, I'd probably say best to avoid the wind... It did teach me a lot about how to handle a boat in the wind and what not to do... like others have rightly told you keep the bow into the waves and head for sheltered areas where the wind will be broken...
