Flat water and gentle west wind, brings out the noseeums, they love me and I hate them, give me wind with 2-4 surf.

I won't bass fish in the summer, the heat and humidity isn't too bad but those gnats drive me crazy, I may go out if the wind is blowing.

Thunderstorms, though they are much more than an annoyance.

The only time wind really annoys me is when there are whitecaps, and the wind is blowing onto the launching ramp.

One of the ponds I regularly fish has a sandy ramp with very little slope.  You literally have to get all four wheels into the water to launch and load, with the water not quite up to the rear axle level.

When the wind whips up while fishing, the only way to reasonably load the boat is to set the anchor off the stern, then let the boat drift to the shore, and tie the line to a stern cleat when the boat is close to the shore, and off to the side of the "ramp".

Back the trailer into the water, get in the boat, and pull it back toward the anchor.  That's no small feat when waves are splashing over the stern.

Once in deep enough water, lower the motor, start it, pull in the anchor, back the boat further out and get it lined up for the run to the trailer.

Nudge it in and out of gear, with a bit of reverse now and then to slow it down, and keep your fingers crossed that you get it right the first time.

With the stern bobbing up and down, there is not much chance of backing away without getting the prop into the bottom.

Can't even powerload, for that reason.  I wear my hip boots for the process so I can get off the bow, into the water, and winch the boat into place on the trailer.

Out here it's Wakeboats.  With that said, I get over it quick, it's also their right to be out here enjoying the water and even though we do so in very different ways, I respect that they have no idea what I'm doing.  Plus I spend more time off the water in the heat of summer.
