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.
