I've been on Rougher but Yesterday is about as Rough as I'd Like - 16 mph with 20 mph Gusts..Waves were bad enough Sonar kept losing bottom........ 19' Deep V with High Sides - saw a few bass boats hugging the shore but none of them stayed long.......

Oh yeah BigPoppa!!! I had to learn that the hard way about replacing your ropes on the drift sock. I lost a nice expensive one and still don't want to shell out more money for one. I'm actually thinking about getting a used industrial sewing machine and making a couple out of canvas or something...HMMM Serj's drift socks or Drift Anchors by Serj..LOL!!

Ya know, they make DS harnesses with floats. I have one on each of my DSs. Great fish there Big!  Banging around in the wind at night isn't a lot of fun.

Yup Ed that is what procrastinating got me...I have a harness I bought with a float attached and never got around to putting it on so it sank when the rope busted...

Marina doesnt always have someone working. If gates are Open you can launch - $5. They have a drop slot on boat house under the mailbox but I havent seen any envelopes there so I put some letter envelopes in my truck and write my trucks tag number on the envelope.
