Opsman...thank you so much for the heads up on Linesville.....that was where I was heading !!
Well, as far as a report........you pymy guys are crazy !!! I was hoping with the wind yesterday that most guys would stay home, but that wasn't the case (again, you guys are nuts). I don't mind 5 footers in my big boat, but I was guys out there in little bathtubs battling the 2-3's ! It was quite the sight. Seeing that gave me some good respect for the weekend warriors. I never expected Pymy would get that rough, and the 20mph winds were just relentless.
Oh BTW.....pontoon guys are the most unpredictable SOB's I have ever seen. I would take a gaggle of sail-boats over "tooners" anyway. If I am anchored and fishing, you need to go around me.....that is the law. I saw one Toon so overloaded with people I thought it was going to tip over. There must have been 8 people congregated in the back of the toon....the front had to be 4' off the water running at 45 degrees...I know this is mean, but I so wanted to see it tip over. I would have helped to pluck them out of the water.....
Also, doesn't any game wardens patrol the lake and launches ? There were guys out there with way more than 20HP.
Launched out of Snodgrass, headed out towards the channel. Took forever with the heavy WNW winds to get out. Picked up 2 decent cats off crawlers in the 8ish FOW. Nothing on fatheads. Missed a big "something" later in the day. Went through 2 trolling motor batteries, had to put the 3rd on to make it back to shore.
