Always a dilemma...every yahoo out on the water, looking for the big one, or just adding to the mayhem surrounding viewing fireworks from a boat. Worst weekend of the year to be on the water IMHO. I already have FOUR messages requesting fish for the weekend get togethers that I am not even invited to....(not happening)
The only time on my boat will be 0400-0900. Then get the hell out of Dodge.... I wont be fishing my regular spots in daylight, as I don't want any more pressure on them. Evening and night fishing is out as I do not think the fireworks, parties, drunks, their noise and sewerage will be condusive to the bite. People can't believe that I don't watch the fireworks from the boat....
But I am spoiled and don't want to be out there amongst the drunks and have to wait for hours to get in from the mooring. Almost got mowed down one year rowing in.
So be careful out there, and protect your honey holes by not being seen there for all to see.....
Wishing all a good Fourth!
