ditto on the wind. I don't remember when we had so many days of nonstop wind. I finally got sick of waiting so headed out to grapevine early today to try my luck. Maybe an hour of fishing and a few small ones before the winds were howling. Nothing worse than that feeling when you are fast idling out of a protected cove and looking across out into main lake where whitecaps are everywhere . My little tracker didn't let me down but to say it was a rough ride back to the boat ramp would be putting it mildly! Here is hoping winds settle down soon.

I attempted to cancel my trip for today but, nope....not a chance. I sure am glad ranger boats don't sink. I just took a look at the weather this morning and thought "I got up early for this?"

On the off-chance that my customers read this: dont worry, it wont effect you much. It just makes it tougher on me (anchoring and fighting the trolling motor). And no, we are not going to sink the boat

Good article on Cooper Lake in the Sunday DMN fishwrapper this morning, Steve. Surprised it wasn't you....

Of course when the wind quits we will be complaining about not enough wind and how stinking hot it is.

I havent wet a line in 2 weeks because of this weather, Im heading to Texoma for 5 days starting wednesday and if it is anything like this I might as well stay at work.

Yeah, now that I finally have some time to fish, I look out the window & see the trees bent over & choose to stay home rather than getting swamped on LRH. Maybe it'll calm down soon.

Now you said a mouth full Billy, but thats the way of the world! To much rain, to hot, to much wind, to cold, just fish

Heat, rain, snow, sleet and cold can all be dealt with and really doesn't bother me. But, you can't do much when the wind is blowing 40 mph. Oh well, at least my wife has things for me to do around the house

I used to really like the wind when the girls all wore mini-skirts. The world was a better place......

Could it be? Is it true? Are the winds starting to taper? Will Thurs, Fri & Sat be light and variable wind days? We'll see

Shhhh .. Don't say that out loud. the wind Gods might hear ya

Oops sorry, I think they already did

These windy days are starting to seriously BlOW. Getting really old. Thursday evening had storms here winds up to 95mph and a tornado jumping around. I think I heard that our small town suffered like 12 million in damage from the storm. I have been doing without electricity for stretches at home, fortunately work has had generator power to keep up with things. But it sure enough slowed me down a bit, and was pretty hot. But hey got power back now, and back at it full steam ahead, I gotta get caught up with stuff, so I can try and fish both Sat/Sunday.

We got peed on but nothing serious.
