Mother Nature Kicked my @$$

[cassidyta]

We had our club tourney on Saturday and it was less than enjoyable as Mother Nature made me her &*@&@.
As Garey and Kory have mentioned, I probably deserve the crappy weather with how much I rub in the good weather that I usually get.

It started raining around 0200 on Saturday morning. I did not see a break in the sky until 1130 and it only lasted for 15 minutes. Throughout the day, we would have sleet mixed in with the rain. The high on Saturday was 41 with a wind chill of 37. (the average for the end of Feb is 70)
The wind made it darn hard to stay on any spot for me. At times I had to put the TM on 5 to stay in one spot.

The worst part for me was the cold in my hands. I didn't change baits often because it was too hard for me to tie on a new one. The other problem was that I could not feel anything with the drop shot or the jig.
I did manage to boat a couple of shorts, but that was it.

At the end of the day I went home skunked, freezing and beat physically and mentally. It was the first time ever that I did not enjoy being on the water.
