I am the type of person when I go to fish that's exactley what I want to do.[
]
If I am going I like to go for at least 4-5 hours. A good friend of mine alot of times just times the tide so he will fish a 1/2 hr before tide change and after.
He claims to have had good luck doing that. Me personally just watch the tides, toss out your bait and drift around. Find a hot spot! and anchors away I'm staying[cool]
I totally agree with you though. When the wind and waves kick in unfortunatley it's time to go [unsure]
When it's so rough you can't tell if you get a bite or the wind is so strong your getting kicked around it's time for me to head in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something I forgot to mention is today while I was anchored near some grassy areas looking for bass some idiot came into the harbor at well over posted speeds waking everyone.
I blew my whislte and signalled to him to slow down. One of the knuckleheads decided to go up to the bow and flip me off.
So I took out my trusty marine handheld and called Harbor Patrol. Sure enough they were sitting alittle ways up ahead of him and nailed him cold.
20 minutes later and 2 harbor patrol boats I floated by. They had the knucklehead who flipped me off in handcuffs. Turned out he was drunk as a skunk.
He saw me and shook his head and I held up my handheld and said," Do on to others brother" meaning he thought it was real funny waking smaller craft and now he has a dui and his vessel was impounded.
I felt alittle sorry[unsure] NOT! []
