Whats with this crap wind weather reports these days ? Both Saturday and Sunday, called for S/W,SSW. YA RIGHT. I have dealt with N/W waves the past 2 days. Saturday I couldn't get to me jigg,n grounds, so instead of wasting an outing, I played with the perch. Caught a few jumbos, but the water is way to warm to be keeping IMO. I was passing time sorta speak.
Got home after my morning on the water, and I looked at the wind forecast for Sunday. Called for, SW, SSW. I followed the site all night to confirm. Perfect for where I wanted to head out AGAIN. Love me jigg,n grounds.
So at the break of 4am, Walk to the door, open and I see the flags limp. but I can hear the TV tower wires howling. I headed off to my toon preparing lot. Grab a couple of cups of java, and head east. I arrived to what looked like they had it right, but the noise from the tower wires, was in the back of my mind.. The inner bay was calm. Throw the toon in and get to rowing. First half mile was pleasant. easy row. Then the side of my face gave me the , WTH, is this ? I could feel this breeze upon my face. Not from the south, but from the north west. DAMIT. I continue to row and the wind continued to build. I am getting pissed by now. Get a mile and a half out and it is full blown north/west rollers.
At this point, I felt like this guy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And just like him, I cursed, I said why, why, why,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
THEN,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, WELL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I got myself to where I wanted to be. I anchored, and was able to hold my position with my 3lb anchor ,with 3ft of 10 lb,s of chain, and I watched the sun rise. The rise made me melo out, and be thankful for another morning to be out alive and fishing, no matter the conditions. PERSPECTIVE, I guess you can call it.
Turned out to be the call of the morning.
I greased the TOON well.
