Bill Watkins: Says he won't fight a 30 mph North East wind, fish biting on certain tides, 30 min windows to catch fish, knowing where the fresh water is, trout migration, fish raised and live in the lake do not like going in the lake, fresh water dead zones, trout follow pattern, fresh water influences where fish will be, marshes are fish hatcheries, following fish movement patterns, afraid of burial grounds.

Richard Tatsch: Crappie are so finicky, snakes coming up to the boat, rough conditions yesterday, white water splashing miles out, and convincing folks not to go due to crazy winds.

Charlie Paradowski: Laying low today, caught some fish on super spooks yesterday, wading wet with some wind gets you cold, hoping the crowds thin out, the earlier the better when it comes to surf fish.
