captpierre Posted May 25, 2019 Report Posted May 25, 2019 Weather Network forcasting temps to be 5 degrees C cooler than average next 2 wks. Going to delay water temp increases and weed growth.
crappieperchhunter Posted May 25, 2019 Report Posted May 25, 2019 Coldest wettest spring by far since I started keeping my vegetable garden journals in 1984 when we got our 1st house and I had a garden of my own. This weather sucks for the summer crops in my garden. However the upside is the spring crappie and bluegill hunting is extended?

Old Ironmaker Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 What else is new. 1st year I'm not ably to troll a line or swing a club. Everyone tells me I'm not missing out because neither can they because of the weather. Winds and thunderstorms on Erie are evil and courses aren't letting carts out, too wet, still. Heavy storms last night and today.
OhioFisherman Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 My son and crew were out trying to get the grass cut today, he got a sun burn ( 86 degrees ) and got hit by about 15 drops of rain, 30 miles away? Severe storms and power outages. 1

OhioFisherman Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 A one day thing Brian, it's about 15 degrees cooler today, I can no longer handle the heat anyway so cooler is better for me. Just glad my area seems to be missing the severe storms that seem to be hitting all around us!
AKRISONER Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) i personally cannot remember such a wet cool spring in my entire life in Ontario. In Pointe Au Baril I can probably count the number of days that havent had rain since the beginning of April on one hand. Guys talking about weed growth, there is virtually none at all in Pointe Au Baril. Very small spots of weed growth in some areas, but areas that are traditionally choked out are barren. The high water has pushed it even further. Heck our water temps are still in the low 50's and its basically June. The panfish havent even come up shallow yet. Lake feels somewhat like a barren waste land with random spurts of good fishing, but then totally off days where the lake goes back into early spring mode. Heck I was catching incidental OOS smallies in 32 FOW last Thursday...Last time I checked thats a little deep for smallies to be spawning... oh...and the best part about the cold and wet...the blackflies, holy cow it is nexttttt level this year up in pointe au baril. Wearing a bug net I still have to take a moment at times to run away from what im doing so that I can regain my vision. My dog isnt a big fan of it either. Edited May 27, 2019 by AKRISONER

As wet as this spring has been it should make it a special year for the mosquitoes too!
BillM Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 Been seeing some green weed growth out on gbay. Pike are still acting weird however.

Ugh, Ohio please check in with us when you get a chance. Woke up to some absolutely terrible news from your neck of the woods.

misfish Posted May 28, 2019 Report Posted May 28, 2019 I dont recall exact location,but he is closer to lake Erie. Did not see any signs up in that area. 1
OhioFisherman Posted May 28, 2019 Report Posted May 28, 2019 I am alive! at least I think so? With MS there is a 50/50 chance I could sleep through anything! As near as I can tell from a very brief look at the news the severe weather was around Dayton Ohio, that is a long distance away from me, much closer to Whopper's area, hope he is OK, but thanks for your concern!

Yep, 25 miles due south of Lake Erie, the highway at the end of my road ( state route 83 ) ends at Lake Erie, about a mile from where I used to live in Avon Lake. Another round of severe storms possible for today though, so far everything has missed us!
Rattletrap2 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Posted May 28, 2019 Glad to hear you are well Paul! Let's hope your neighbors are as well! 1

Cando Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 This weather sure is messing up things for me. I can't use my cottage because I need to get a new septic system put in. It was suppose to be done last November but the ground froze up faster than normal. Now it is too wet in the fields for the guys truck to bring the old septic tank to the proper place. I could alway get a Johnny on the spot and put it beside my new neighbours place lol 1
OhioFisherman Posted May 31, 2019 Report Posted May 31, 2019 Cando, I can't picture trying to drive a backhoe across the ground here, my son was able to get most of our grass cut over the weekend, but he said in some parts it was like driving over a wet sponge. It poured again yesterday so hard my rain gutters were overflowing, and the ten day forecast here is showing more rain for 7 of the next 10 days. Hope you get some dry weather!

The bottom part of my property is like walking on a sponge. I seen all the severe weather out in your neck of the woods I hope that the tornado threats have ended out there. It would be scary being there with the tornados in the dead of night and not being able to see them. Last I seen was 14 straight days where tornadoes hit your state and the states all around you.

LOL, I live in a rural area and have a septic system also, digging a hole for a new one now would be more like digging a pond, as thunder is booming in the background! Luckily all the bad storms have missed my area so far, LOL I am severely disabled, by the time I could make it into my basement I might be in Oz!

I can't build a basement at the cottage. even if we had a drought I'd only get a few feet and I'd have an indoor pool lol 1
captpierre Posted June 5, 2019 Author Report Posted June 5, 2019 Just checked. Other than this weekend, colder again for following 2 wks. I guess my Speedo stays in the drawer ?
lew Posted June 5, 2019 Report Posted June 5, 2019 I don't mind the cool weather, infact I prefer it, but it sure would be nice to see the end of this darned rain. 1
