LIKE THE SAYING GOES, THE WIND IS YOUR FRIEND [ WITHIN REASON ] THE WIFE AND I AND ON OF MY SONS ON LEAVE FROM COAST GUARD WERE CAUGHT IN BAFFIN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WHEN A SOLID NORTHER HIT EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. IT WAS A LIGHT SWITCH TURNED ON. IMNEDIATELY THE BITE EXPOLDED, WE WERE ON THE HOLY SHORLINE NEAR LOS CORALES, JUMPED OVER TO EAST KLEBERG PT. BOOM REDS WENT BALISTIC, TROUT FRENZY, INCREDABLE. WORKED OR WAY DOWN TO TIDE GUAGE, WHEN I NOTICED WE HAD NOT SEEN ANOTHER BOAT FOR HOURS, CAME AROUND POINT OF ROCKS AND WE WERE HIT IN THE FACE WITH 30-45 GUSTS. STOPPED COUNTED FISH TO MAKE SURE WE WERE LEGAL, TIED EVERYTHING DOWN, GOT A SANDWICH, AND PUSHED DOWN THE KING RANCH SHORELINE TILL WE WERE ABLE TO HIT PITA A RUN FOR THE ISLAND! POINT IS IT WAS A TRIP TO REMEMBER, STILL TALKED ABOUT TODAY. DONT BE AFRAID, JUST BE PREPARED FOR CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS,,SERVICE YOUR RIG, AND HANG ON !!
