    I love this wind! My kite business is flourishing.

    There’s nothing like battling a kite with a 6ft Med Lite St. Croix Elite Series Spinning rod and 8lb P-line. Almost better that a 5lb Smallie.

    Blue,
    I just got back from a walk to the bank and post office, and I think the kite setup now requires 50#PP and a 7000 abu baitcaster on 7′ MH St Croix rod.

    I use blade dancers for the tails!!!

    Chatterbaits work well too. BTW, has there been a more over-hyped lure?

    Went out fishing today on a local lake and apparantly didn’t beach my boat good enough…After parking my truck/trailer I found my boat floating away and drifting quickly with the aide of the wind. Stripped down and went swimming Must have been 40 yards out from shore when I finally caught up to it. I have never been that cold in my life

    Retrieving a boat like that is never fun. We lost a boat due to wind a couple years ago right before X-mas. It wasn’t pretty.

    You guys think its bad for you… weather forEcast was for 20-40MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS winds today so for guide customers safety I postponed their FRI SAT trip on one of the prime weekends of the year, and I walk out today and barely a breeze. That means I just lost $325(OUCH). I don’t drink much beer so I’m crying in my Diet Pepsi.Do yah suppose the “National WE don’t have a clue forecasting service”, will send me a check????
