I had a tournament on Oneida Lake yesterday,storied for it's smallmouth and walleye. I had a good game plan going from previous TXs there and map study, the weather forecast reinforced it. That was until I arrived, the forecast,I checked it at 2:00 in the morning, said wind from the sse at 3 to 9 mph, try ene at about 20 mph, waiting for blast off in 3 to 4 footers, it was downhill from there. I zeroed, pickerl don't count, I got home with a sore, very stiff back. I had little if any boat control and it was difficult at best to know what my bait was doing, I'm glad it's over.

Sounds like every outing for me lol. I think I'll be a better angler when I move out of this forsaken tundra.
