Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

Trust me, been there, done that. It's really one of the reasons why I tend to carry so much gear in my van. Never know what exactly is going to work, or for that matter, what kind of fish I'm going to be targeting/catching. Plans can change in a heartbeat.

Using a kayak is really interesting; I can't take a bunch of gear with me, so I have to stock my boxes with stuff I know works, and employ tactics that I know will produce. Otherwise, I just end up paddling around looking at the sights.
