20-30 will keep me home. Got other things I can do.

Depends on the lake, if it’s a tourney, rain and wind, etc.
I haven’t missed a Saturday or Sunday in about 3 years. So....I pretty much fish in whatever. If it’s really bad, I choose a lake that is oriented so the winds have benefits. But, yeh, I ain’t fishing deep main lake stuff on a big lake in anything over 15 sustained/25 gusts. I’ll find a bank that will have the wind at my back and power pole my way down the bank making really long casts, picking everything apart as I go.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Between work, my daughter competing in gymnastics, playing softball, and my son running track or playing soccer, I fish when i am.able to go fishing.
I won 2 club tournaments last year in 30+ mph winds. First tournament I caught 4-5 lb fish for 2 hours without moving on roughest spot on lake
Second tournament was following month on OH Ivie and conditions were similar. I went to roughest point i could find, caught a 6.5 lber on my 3rd cast and then too many 4 lbers to count. Weighed in 3 for nearly 19 lbs that day.
My next three weekends are clear at the moment, i plan on fishing regardless of the weather. I hope one day i can pick my days based on weather conditions.

There’s always somewhere to tuck out of it. However, Saturday with 25 gusting to 44 on Fork does NOT sound fun.

There’s not much that will keep me from a day of fishing. I’m sure one day I won’t be as mad at them... but that day is hopefully a long ways away!

30mph is typically my max. Fish in the wind sucks for us to deal with boat control, etc but usually makes for a great bite so I try to tough it out until it gets to the point of being dangerous. Same with Steez, if I know there’s going be bad wind, I find a lake or section of lake that’s oriented appropriately for the wind direction that day.

With the lakes I fish, GV & Lew, I can stand it to 30. Anything more than that, I'll just go with Kevin.

Depends on what boat I'm fishing out off sometimes. A big fiberglass boat is a lot easier to move around the lake in. Another story in an aluminum boat .But aluminium has benefits on calmer days.

30+ sustained for fun fishing. if it’s a tournament there is no limit. If they’ll let us go then I’ll fish.
