But.....this Sunday now looks like the day with light W after the NW blow, should be close to flat inshore, and if no stripers, can drop a few crabs for bottom dwellers.
With 2 VHF's, wearing PLB, whistle, and life jacket, I fish safely.
The eskimo's fish from outboard boats in colder weather......it's a matter of perspective.

It's called hypothermia, and if you fall in you are in for a rough time. So don't fall in. Better yet, wear a tether to the boat, as well as your engine kill lanyard. Even a light wind can quickly blow a boat away from you. This way you can quickly haul yourself to the boat and climb back in. Words to live by.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
