I agree with the idea that it's your book and you should write it how you want, if it comes from your heart, it is likely to be better than your trying to please everyone.
That said, I don't think there is anything wrong with your throwing in hints that a savvy reader can apply. Such as something like "we sharpened the hooks on our needlefish plugs as we got ready to hit the southwest corner, the tide was outgoing and the wind was in our faces, so our expectations were high."
