Congrats Pat, you had them dialed in again, even on a day I didn't expect too much... but it did turn into a really nice day... I was soooo close to leaving my taxes and running to the pond for an afternoon trip, but I resisted.... Mostly because my wife returned home and grabbed me by the ear and told me to get the taxes done first...  Not really, but it kind of felt that way anyway....  Made good progress on the tax prep, so hopefully I'll get them finished tonight and be ready to try the pond by Friday afternoon.... Sure hope I can anyway... Later Jeff

Lucky me.  My wife takes care of our taxes...and does the prep work for several other family members and friends.  So she is more likely to tell me to get out of the house while she is working so I don't bug her.  Lucky me.

I didn't mention that the wind started to pick up about the time I was leaving yesterday.  It was gettin' gusty by the time I drove off.  So I wouldn't have had much quality fishing time if I had stayed longer.   This time of year...and this year in particular...I have to really watch the weather because the forecasts seem to change on a daily basis.  I am usually able to pick decent days to fish, but I have had it go both ways: staying home because of a poor forecast and then have it be a super day for those who went...and heading out on a good forecast only to get blown off the water by "variable breezes" up to 30 mph.

I'll say it again.  The best time to go fishing is whenever you can get away.  But, unfortunately, when we are still working and have families there are other precedents that greatly interfere with our fishing schedule.
