For me... The weather (WIND) has been the big factor. It hasn't been in my favor for what seems like months or at least good enough on the days I could go most of the summer. Otherwise I would be out there. Lower water or not. I'll still go with the heat and deal with it but not the winds. Madi doesn't do as well with the heat but then she can just swim and manage staying cooled that way and be totally happy out there spotting fish for me from within their environment [

Matter of fact this Saturday is looking up. To be seen. At least when not fishing I am saving $$ and able to stock up fishing stuff. I still have one reel I need to replace before I start going out there and using up my "allowance" on gas, etc.
All of those bass tournaments on TV with Pros saying the wind is your friend in interviews can jump off a cliff. It ISN'T on Lake Mead that is a fact. I have never done well out there on any type of fish in the winds. Besides all the pains involved with dealing with the wind. Boat control, casting a BC into the wind, waves bigger than my little 17 foot boat, etc, etc, etc...
