Went out on Sammamish and man did it blow, literally and metaphorically. By the end of the morning it was a sustained 20 mph "breeze" that made fishing quite difficult. Had a couple bites but no fish to the boat. Fished with my cousin's father in law. He lives in OR, so I wanted to show him some fish, but failed miserably. He's a great guy and didn't seem upset by the lack of fish, but it was certainly an adventure on the water with a nearly 3 foot wind chop by the time we pulled the plug. We cycled through all the gear we could think of, different depths, speeds etc, so it was not for lack of persistence or trying that we didn't catch anything. Fun day to be on the water though, I like the crappy weather...sometimes.
