Always check the weather...

[Jman5626]

Yesterday was beautiful! 80 degrees, calm not breezy, and sunny all day. But I work till 5 and the nearest lake with crappie is 45 minutes away... so this morning I woke up early, got loaded up and headed it. It was cool, but I expected it to warm up..... NO. It never warmed up. About 40 degrees all day. The water was actually warmer @ 45 degrees. And WINDYYYY! The wind blew my little boat every which way and I have no chance. When I finally did find a brush pile, I'd get blown off and loose it before I could even get my line in the water. Tried hiding from the wind behind the pillars of the bridge, but with no success. Fish wouldn't bite on minnows, jigs or nibbles. And I also was not dressed for the occasion. So I froze. Lesson learned... always check the weather before you leave...

I feel your pain! It's been a real rollercoaster ride here in the northeast. One day it's near 70 and the next it's in the low 30's! Ice has been very thin, but consistent enough to prevent launching. Another 3 weeks - or sooner - I hope!

I never go fishing without checking the weather forecast. Watch the gradient lines on the weather map, close together strong winds, far apart light wind. Watching which direction the wind is coming from I can always find a spot out of the wind.

During the summers here in Florida I'm constantly watching and checking the weather. Those afternoon thunderstorms pop up quickly, dump a ton of rain and lightning, and move through with a vengeance. You don't want to be caught on the water during one.

I check the weather all day. The changes can get you, this time of year.

Weather can change rapidly, this time of year. Thunderstorms can get dangerous!

I make it a habit of checking the weather, mainly the wind speed and direction, but I've found they dont forecast the wind accuratly enough. Now if I'am in doubt, I load the wind sock and 5 gallon buckets, so I can at least troll

Just curious, what are the buckets for?
