We fishermen see ourselves as "rugged outdoorsmen" tough guys that won't let a little wind and rough water stop us... As I age,i have adjusted those thoughts.. life is too short, too precious.. there's a better day to fish right around the corner.. I realize that many of us have to go fishing when we can, not when we want, but its often just not worth it.. Even if you do catch a fish or two, is is really a pleasant experience when you are shipping green water over the bow all day, and getting your brains beat out?
I suppose I am simply just getting old, but those rough windy nasty days usually aren't worth it anymore.. The fishing often isn't great either..
When I see 100 foot head boats staying tied up, but 20 footers out there fishing, I am bewildered.
Even a very good boat operator can stick a bow 5 feet down in a 6 footer, by being a second or two off in his timing with the throttle.

Not worth it.... bob
