Mother Nature could care less about the fishermen or their safety. If anything, she gets great pleasure slapping boats around when they venture into her neighborhood and she is insulted when we think we can handle what she is capable of throwing our way. How many times have we been thrown around on our lake where the forecast is for 1 to 3's and all we can say is,"we need a bigger boat." Everyone who has spent any time on Lake Erie knows Mother Nature can be a b#*@#!!! Looking for someone to credit the bad weather on, there is your answer.
