		<description><![CDATA[Frustrating, isn&#8217;t it, when you&#8217;re counting on a day on the water and the weather doesn&#8217;t cooperate? How many times have you planned a weekend boating or fishing trip at midweek, when the weather forecast for the weekend looked great, only to have that trip ruined by high winds or rain or both when the weekend rolls around?
Don&#8217;t blame the weather service.  The meteorologists who make those forecasts are doing the best they can to solve an immensely complex riddle that is the weather.  Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tenacity&#8212;the willingness and fortitude to stay with a task until it is completed&#8212;is both a blessing and a curse of the fisherman. &#160;I suppose that&#8217;s why we keep going back again and again, whether it&#8217;s trolling all day offshore in hopes of connecting up with a dolphin, tuna or sailfish, or why we spend hour after countless hour casting lures for trout, snook and redfish.  When do you just call it quits and go home?
As I get older I find that, while I still have the willingness to stay on the water until I catch something, I don&#8217;t have as much fortitude as I once did. ...]]></description>

It stands to reason that higher fuel prices combined with an economic slump would take a toll on fishing and boating and there&#8217;s growing evidence of that, almost all anecdotal.  I&#8217;ve seen reports from areas of concentrated fishing&#8212;the lower Keys, for instance&#8212;that there are fewer boats on the water this year than last.  The head boats aren&#8217;t going out every day like they used to. ...]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t gone back and researched the climatological data, but March seems regularly to be windy time on Florida&#8217;s east coast.  How windy? Well, right now the anemometer on my sailboat&#8217;s mast is showing fairly steady winds of close to 20 knots with a few gusts to the higher 20s, and I haven&#8217;t been watching it that closely, so we may have had a few blasts of 30 knots or more. ...]]></description>

But Galaxie&#8217;s near-six-foot draft has always prevented me from seeing the backside of the Keys, the stretch of water from Marathon to Biscayne Bay on the north and west side of the chain. ...]]></description>

Despite sailing for nearly three decades, it was my first real experience on a cat big enough to go cruising on (my Hobie 16, a virtual rocket ship of a boat, doesn&#8217;t count because, while you might die on it at high speed, you certainly can&#8217;t live on it). 
I can now understand what people like about cats and what accounts for their increasing popularity. ...]]></description>

Not long ago I was perusing the general forum on Florida Sportsman&#8217;s excellent website and came across a member asking his colleagues how many rod-and-reel setups they owned. 
Some respondents confessed that they had sort of an addiction: &#8220;I think I am looking at just under 30? I know I have a problem but it [sic] just too hard to stop. ...]]></description>

My friend Jack is a avid surf fisherman and has been telling me for the last couple of years about how far he cast his custom-made surf fishing rig, a Penn 525 Mag revolving spool reel harnessed to a 12-foot custom surf rod.  I kept wondering what was so much better about that rig than a spinning setup, so a few days ago I challenged Jack to a hurling contest. ...]]></description>
