Same here.
Lots of very successful trips directly related to his forecasts, reports and info.
Fun little story here...
We had enjoyed a couple years in a row of excellent fishing around the dam a few years back at Lake Powell, following Waynes forecasts and advice. We enjoyed it so much that when January of the following year came around, we went out to his website, asked a few questions and got his response..."...that due to the excellent overall biology that Lake Powell is currently experiencing...the striper fishing near the dam will be difficult at best...there will still be plenty of good fishing, but you will need to search out and earn most of the fish you catch this spring..."
(I'm paraphrasing, but basically that is what he said).
Well...we were not willing to accept that, since we wanted to badly to go and enjoy another awesome (read: EASY) spring fishing trip...so we decided that perhaps he might be wrong that year. So, we went in April as we always did. Long story short...4 fishermen, 4 days of fishing...ONE striper caught. We decided after that Wayne knew what he was talking about ALWAYS after that and read his reports diligently....and only went when he said it was going to be good and never had another bad year!
We still laugh about that year. Wasn't funny at the time. But it was a good lesson.
I for one hope he keeps on posting!!
