Turn your back for only a second, and WHAM, you either soaked, or screwed.
I've been nailed by rouge waves a number of times, but I always try to keep an eye out for them.
This guy makes sense, its all about common sense, yes it does get to rough to fish and water thats to rough also gets to dirty and silty and drags your plug and gets a knarled mess of seaweed on the line, gets you soaked, puts your life in danger, is stupid and most times its worthless..The truth is most guys wont admit it and say they are tough because they fish in hurricanes....most times they come home skunked , soaked and tired....Plenty of fish are caught on the better nights, there is no need to punish yourself....Bottom line is use common sense..when its to rough to fish outside, look up in estuaries..or the better option is to catch up on sleep.....
