Doesnt impact us.  Ours is next sat.  ?

Man, I don't know if I'd bet on that just yet.

All these suckers might be closed next weekend.

We may have to make our own launch ramp.

They left on time this morning. From reports it's pouring but the fish are biting.

We're supposed to fish next Saturday in a big derby on Bull.  I'm now wondering if it'll even happen a week later.

This is what tournament fishing is supposed to be all about..... Catching fish during every imaginable set of conditions.  

To quote Bob Cobb...."Even in the wake of an E.L.E. nuclear holocaust". 

Guido Hibdon won a BASS event out East, from a swamped Ranger 390 during hurricane Hugo's wrath.  ??

Are they now going to start taking it easier on the anglers, before they start taking it easier on the fish ? ?

 

Millennials!

Man, that just seems nuts to me to put all of those people working that event in that kind of danger just so those guys can go catch some fish. 

Between lightning and flash flooding this just doesn't pass the common sense test in my opinion. 

But as usual, what do I know?

Fishing is really important after all.

Well....think of it this way:

  We buy boats that can handle the roughest water that mother nature can dish out. We equip these boats with high power trolling motors, powerful outboards, GPS/sonar, and 700GPH bilge pumps. We buy outstanding rain gear and PFD's, things to protect our eyes and faces so we can run through heavy rain and hailstorms. And we buy specialized baits for high and muddy water. We even have punch baits for fishing heavy mats of debris.

To do all of this just to fish on Golden Pond would be kinda rediculous, no?   

Wait.....I think I just heard thunder ???

I hope we still fish.  I just don't want it canceled.  I already scored an extremely rare Saturday off and high water at Bull Shoals is never a bad thing.  Chocolate milk sucks to fish in, but having all of that cover in play could be awesome.  And I've become a get off my lawn old man, I'll never be confused for a millennial.
