Southerner here, things can change from bad to worse to great in a flash, You just need to keep fishing. Last year we were launching the boat for our first opener for halibut for the year (crazy every other weekend rules) and after just finishing the winter service on the motor. Turns out the impeller was the wrong one and we had no cooling. Pulled back out and ran to the store, purchased the correct one and installed on the side of the road. Back to the ramp and out to test the motor.
It was too late to make the run out to the "spot" so we just ran out and dropped our crab pots and while sitting there messing with our settings on the HDS a boat off out starboard capsized (29' striper never found out why) pure luck put us there to be able to pull them out of the water.
Next day 3 nice halibut in the boat, sometimes you just need luck/karma
