Learning from Tough Days

[jpchavez23]

I was on the water a few times over the last week and the fishing was pretty slow overall. Not a whole lot of fish landed or spotted. You know the fishing has been bleak when some of the most respected guides in the area are having a tough time finding fish and are even cancelling trips because of the conditions.

If you asked me to describe my three least favorite fishing conditions I would tell you high winds, high water levels, and a lack of tidal movement. Last weekend we had a combination of all three. Adding thunderstorms to the mix would be about the only thing that could have made the conditions worse.
