Mother Nature is Cruel...

nofearengineer · 07-18-10, 02:51 PM

I was watching TV a few minutes ago, and decided to check the weather. So I switched over to PC, and WHOA.....Weatherbug says it's 74 DEGREES!!! So I jump up, run out into the garage to grab a couple of rods, open the garage door, and it starts to rain cats and dogs....

WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

(Honestly, I should have instantly realized the only reason the temp would have dropped so much would be an incoming T-storm, but hey...a desperate man sees what he wants to see. At least it's good for the lawn...)

Thats a bummer for sure. I'm glad I opted not to go out this morning or I would have been caught on the lake by a strong t storm that rolled through. So I'm going through all my stuff preparing for next sat!

My fishing plans for the day were put on hold due to my wife getting a stomach bug

hoping to make up for it one night during the week

Its pouring here right now too. 80 something degrees.

Just hope we get a dry week later this week. Heading up north for a fishing trip.

Holy crap. I just checked the extended forcast and it's calling for scattered thundershowers for 2 weeks. Right now it's sunny and 90 degrees. I go on vacation the first week of august. Hope I get some good days in. Although I caught my pb right after a storm.

Lol that same storm hit us baout a half hour ago. I got to fish before that though. Caught 3 bass 5 gills and and a good sized channel cat

I managed to catch one decent sized green sunfish on a drop shot, between downpours. At least I got the smell of a fish on my hand.

SEND US THAT RAIN!!! WE NEED IT!!! overcast skies all weekend, 1/10 of an inch of rain.

BigBassin144 · 07-19-10, 08:56 AM

Rain moved through our area, but we didn't get any. But it was amazing how much it cooled down. Went from 90 to 78 and felt great outside with a light breeze.
