Location: oswego, il | Spent 5 days on lsc and spent about 8 hours on the water this year. Those hours were spent on the coming and leaving days. All other trips were cancelled due to the wind.

Location: Michigan U.P. | I hate the wind! I am so sick of in in my semi V hull I am researching my next boat. If I go with a glass boat I think a slightly used Tuffy 1760 or if I stay with aluminum it will be a new Ranger 1780. |

Location: Metro | I would agree. I don't mind when it still allows me to drift points. but it really takes the joy out of fishing pretty quick. It's also making me realize that my trolling motor is too small for my boat =[. |

Did that once. 7-10 footers + 16 foot boat = BAD. Stayed off lake Michigan for many years after that. |

| I hate the wind lately. Staying home today because of it. Even on small lakes a 17ft older bass boat is no fun to fish out of. |
