I hear ya. It's not always needed. But I have fished enough tournies now. To use AIM as an example the Casino tourney last year (the double scale debacle) had the best fishing I will ever see in my life. Pretty convinced of that. It was that crazy. Queue the following week there was still fish to be had but the right fish disappeared. He who ran 30-40 miles whooped it up on Van Hook Arm. I also ran as was forced to. I lost lots of fishing time. It reduced my ability to run and gun when spots died.

As much as I hate to say it in the tournies with large boundaries and bites differing so greatly on the lake horsepower does make a difference unfortunately. All the time? No. But when it's on the line, even the Pros put the throttle down to run to the easier fishing. All of them? No. but most. Looks like it.

Yes, who has gas, how many gallons each place has. What happens if run out of gas.

Then on street it was dominated by gas by hour. Miles per gallon. Yada yada. Maybe they are all good at decoying. Ha.

You were watching Facebook too huh?

[eyexer]

I don't know how accurate that is. I'm by lunds right now. barely a breeze and the map says 17mph gusts. I can assure you there is lucky to be 5mph gusts right now lol

I just traced the whole lake and i found 14 must have been a rogue wind gust that you found. Other guy is seeing white caps from his house now s

You guys ever have a day of fishing scheduled, you watch the weather/wind forecast for the days leading up to your day on the water. You get up early that morning, calm-clear sky, hook up the boat and head for the water. On your way, you notice trees/grass being blown a little more than expected. You stop at the bait shop, grab what you need...as you walk out of the store it feels a little breezy...you think to yourself "damn, the 5 sites I just checked all showed winds no more than 10mph today". You get to the ramp...look out on the lake and realize-if I wanna fish I gotta fight the wind today. This is North Dakota...and wind is the devil!

Maybe someone will get lucky and catch the 16 lber they netted recently!

Can you say State Record?

That was yesterday to a T. Forecast said 6-10 mph wind all week, including yesterday morning. I get off work and it's 18 gusting to 26.

4 miles south of the beacon east of Tobacco and it is pretty calm here.

I am a man, so obviously I use a Droid phone, and would appreciate info for the app that works with this phone

For what, so you can ride a stupid motorcycle with the wind? F off

 

[RustyTackleBox]

well since we are now talking about wind... I guess I may as well say it... next week I am signing new papers on a new boat and getting rid of the ranger I went out on the warrior test ride event last sunday (the 7th) when the winds were gusting to 45 mph... that test ride proved to me that rangers are a good boat, just not designed for north dakota's light breeze... I am trading up to a Warrior 21-21 with a suzuki... I have never been in a boat that was that smooth
