spring fishing

Normally in the spring we do a lot of crappie fishing but the past couple of years we haven't been able to the water has been to high when we could go ,or the weather has been just  to windy ,I guess I'm looking for excuses an old fishing buddy of mine always said if your to busy to fish your to darn busy and I guess he was right in the years we fished together he taught me more about fishing than I ever new turns out that its not always about the fish sometimes it about us.
