Dodging The Rain!!
Aug 15, 2020 20:12:04 #
Well i went out this morning, 3 different spots, used radar on my phone to dodge the rain from spot to spot, caught one bass maybe a pound at the first spot, left went to the Tar River to do some cat fishing, caught one tiny flathead, off to my favorite bass spot i went and only caugt one there as well, a decent one though, 2.58 lbs. No pics today, sorry guys I just wasnt in the mood to take them. Next time I got you guys though!! 😉

Days are like that. Glad you caught something. They will be bigger next time. Take care.

Hello Dame1981: Congratulations, but why not stay and catch fish in the rain? Have to hunker down and take it, unless you were moving to escape a tornado, the fish are quite used to water, and rain adds oxygen so why not hang around and see what happens? Might require the investment in a rain suit, but here in Texas on the gulf coast, you would have already found that a rain suit is required equipment! Post pictures! Just Sayin...RJS

Way to hang in buddy, at least you got some action. Better days are coming.

Yes and no, Tar Heels came from the period during the civil war in which a lot of North Carolinians engaged in the production of turpentine and or tar from the plentiful pines that still grow in this great state, it was a lowly trade but the people took pride in it and called themselves TAR HEELS! Now I cant say for sure but I believe the river got its name due to being the route in which this tar was transported in that time period!

Yes, it was certainly a grind, 3 spots, 3 fish.

Took the yak up this morning to a new pond for me in CT. It rained for three hours. GoTa little wet, don’t care so much. I wish the catch had been better. One small LMB on rapala floating minnow. Some small sun fishing chasing a simple gold spoon but not muc else. It rains, dress for It and if you get wet, it’s only water. It there are thunderstorms, I get off the lake fast. My paddle is carbon finer and so are my rods. Lighting rods everyone of them .

Hey Jim, I can do you one better, my boat is aluminum. Can you say GROUND connection! I stay as far as possible from thunderstorms. Where did you go?
