If you just want to fish then go fish. But if you want to *catch* fish too, then don't bother. It just happened here this weekend. Front came thru on Thurs night, Fri and Sat sunny w/ gusty north wind. The fish just won't bite. I didn't even consider going. Done it too many times. Instead I took my wife for a long drive to look at foliage and now I have that box checked!
