great post John and excellent advice. Can't collect a boat if you are swimmin' with the fishes. I actually fall in the category you mentioned. My 16 footer can handle a lot but when the white caps kick up, that is my signal to find a warm dry place with food and beer. I'm hoping it holds off until after dinner time but I am seeing that it could break out around 3PM so I'm getting my pre-fshing done early.
