7/26: NW winds. Miserable.
8/2: SW winds. Miserable.
In 4 outings I'm 0-9 on hook ups. :-[ They've dog boned every mack of every size and I've even given them a 20 count. Curse of the rubber hook!
Can't wait til December when the weather warms up. ;D

I didn't take my boat out the last week because of that. I realize it's no kayak, but a flats boat only stays above the waterline about the same. I saw the marine forecast and hit the big old "Nope" button.
Well, I hear you with rubber hooks. I felt like that was all I was using for a while there until the tide swung in my favor. Well, it threw me a few bones, but I'm still a master farmer apparently.
0-9 though... sheesh.... Burn some sage over the kayak!
Even the boats with more freeboard boogied out when the winds kicked up.
I do come home with the consolation prize. Tons of whitefish on bait. Bigger cod on the jigs. Fast drift makes it a chore but it beats a total skunk.
Still plenty of action on bass despite the water temps. They get quite pesky as they will gobble down the smaller spanish macks if I drag one in shallower waters. They must recognize my hull by now as it means a free meal and a quick release.
