I'm hoping you get out soon. It isn't all roses here either. I have been getting out some, and the fish are moving. I have made a stab at pushing some cranks that I have painted over the winter, and been successful but it has NOT been a walk in the park. Winds from the west yesterday at a steady 15 gusting 30 with whitecaps. Released 13 and counted my blessings. Tried it today after the storms went through last night, hoping the wind had lost some of it's punch. Nothing doing. Same wind, but now from the east. Towards the ramp. On a crowded day. Do I have to tell you what it was like getting out? Absolutely crazy!! I wound up helping 3 others guys flying solo get on the trailer and pulled out, one of them was 20yrs my senior and I'm not a newer model. He started at first light and it was after 3 when I helped him load up, and he had 2 crappie to show for the day on the water in a 16' metal boat. I didn't have the heart to tell him of the 17 I released today. He was done in and walking very slow when he got in the van and left. So was my day, and your day is coming soon. Be glad to hear you telling of your trips when the time comes.
