Rich Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Fished a section of river today that I haven't fished in years. It was exactly as I remembered it - void of all fish! haha. We saw 2 small gar and that was it. Apparently the pike come up there at a certain time of year.. I remember it being this time of year but guess I either missed it or was too early. Anywho, with all the fallen logs and stumps in the river I decided to flip for bass while I was there. I stopped the boat (it was bright and sunny at this point) just to tie on a plastic lizard and by the time I was done rigging it it was cloudy as heck. The wind picked right up too. Odd, I thought.. where'd that come from? Then suddenly Sugarpacket and I were stuck in a MAJOR storm that just blew up in like 5 minutes. WOW we got soaked, lightning hit trees not more than 500 feet from the shoreline. We hightailed it as soon as we heard thunder but wow, that was a scary experience. All this talk of storms thought I'd share my own story. So we came home soaked and skunked! Haha.. better luck next time I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wish! Was too worried about keeping the camera dry to pull it out in that downpour. I guess I could have fitted a plastic bag over it or something. Didn't really think of it til we got back to the launch. Dang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Cliff Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 So we came home soaked and skunked! Haha.. better luck next time I guess. I don't know how much better luck you could hope for? You made it in safe didn't you! Storm took down three trees at work today, one ended up right against our shop, good thing it wasn't 20' taller!
