I'm a "fair weather" fisherman

[striprman]

When I was younger, I'd go fishing in the rain, wind, cold...whatever, but the older I get, the less I like fishing in "uncomfortable" conditions. My younger brother taught me "the wind blows" and other such sayings such as "a warm wife is better than a cold fish" (I'm not so sure about that). So, do you like fishing in "extreme conditions ?

I think "been there, done that" has alot to do with it.
I like cloudy, overcast days with a little "drizzle" in the summer and fall. I'll fish then.
I've fished in hail, rain, snow...

Those late season blues in Buzzards Bay were always fun to catch in November, big suckers.

My old bones can't take it any more. I'll take warm summer breezes over rain and cold. I just sit there now, look out the window and think to myself "I should be fishing", then, turn the heat up a little and go back to bed.

I guess it would be different if I was a commercial fisherman who goes when they can get out, no matter what the weather. Hmmm

Love the snot, I figure as long as I can, I'll fish inthe crap. There's plenty of time for fare weather fishing when I get old.... well older.

No, if it's snotty you should all stay home. And you do cause when I'm fishing in that nice weather there are a lot less fisherman.

I remember me and Jr getting up @ 2:30 am during a viscous rain storm and off to the DITCH for a fall blitzt action , the fish were hitting all week . it was sidways rain after an hour and half I said were outta here home @ 5am, the rain was so hard it sounded like someone hitting you with pea stone from 10', but we were there and put in our best effort. It's kinda like when you look @ each other and say what the F#*+ are we doing here
It's all good
