Like everyone said, pick your days. That's what I do and I hit the NWC of the bank from Quincy regularly in late summer/fall. I don't like going in the spring, because the weather is not settled yet, and even though they predict calm seas, it can kick up nasty and that 30 mile run back home could be a nightmare. When I've been out and it looks like its getting nasty, I hit the throttle (my 21 is pretty fast) and get in ASAP. I don't care if the fishing is good or not, I'm going....it ain't worth it.
That said, I've seen 14' whalers out there that only have inches of gunnel out of the water. I've even seen some people out there in Badliners skiing and tubing !!!!!!! So point is some people are just plain stupid...and reckless. Be safe, pick your days, keep the weather channel on the radio.....See you out there......
