Fishing with hat on backwards by Joe Joslin (4/18/2008)
Winds have been so high for so long that I have been starting recent trips with hat on backwards. Recently I actually had a dip net become airborn from a wind gust of over 30 knots. Why was I fishing in such conditions? Lately, these conditions have been daily...so you fish. Yes, we have been catching fish but are adapting with changing presentations.

Fishing in a Parade by Joe Joslin (4/07/2008)
Fishing pressure has been high...fishermen are finding gas money some where....we won't pursue that subject any further. A good presentation of lures is vital if anglers are to get a consistent bite in such heavily fished water.
