[cool][#0000ff]Good report. You sound like my kinda wierdo...DAMN THE SPEED, FULL TORPEDOS AHEAD...or something like that.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]No doubt about it, it's always good to go afloat but you gotta be prepared for anything. That wind on your first launch could have had more serious consequences. You are lucky you were able to make it back okay. Not good to challenge Mama Nature.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Good you found some fish and at least had an "inquiry". That will keep your blood pumping until you can go back for a return match. As I keep telling people who think having sonar gives you an unfair advantage over the fish..."Findin' 'em ain't catchin' 'em." Sonar helps you avoid "fishin' where they ain't" but it is no guarantee of bringing any aboard. I always see a lot more than I catch.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Frontal systems are a definite downer for many fishies. I usually like to plan my trips for a rising or steady barometer after a couple of nice days. That gives the fish a chance to stabilize and return to an active mode. Never a guarantee of success but it improves your odds and makes for better fishing conditions.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Keep on keepin' on. You WILL get into 'em someday and you will be big time happy with your new form of fishing.[/#0000ff]
