WGMD Fishing Report 6-18-20
Wednesday the weather was so bad I didn鈥檛 bother any of my reporting stations for a report.聽 It looks like once we get past Thursday the wind will shift to the south and drop out so we may finally get out on the water.聽 Of course, just to make it interesting, there will be thunderstorms.
Speaking of thunderstorms, they make for interesting boating adventures. I once read a book on marine weather that said there were three types of clouds, white, pink and those big, black bastards. It鈥檚 the last ones you have to avoid.
If you can鈥檛 avoid one, slowdown, put everyone in PFDs, drop all of the antennas, turn on the navigation lights and try to take the waves on an angle. Make note of your heading before the storm hit, then don鈥檛 worry too much about it. You can always correct once the storm passes.
If you are running a center console there will be considerable complaining from the wet and miserable crew. Ignore it. Your job is to get the boat through the storm. Do that, and the crew will be OK.
