Rain or Shine

4:30 At the risk of ending up as a drowned rat, I am getting ready to go fishing by myself for the first time. Saturday morning is the time that I have so that's when I am going to go. I am just getting up and getting ready now so I am still hoping the storm will pass over by the time I get out to the lake. We'll see how it goes. I picked up a low end rod and reel combo at Wal-Mart and a few more lures from Strike King (they look like big fat black worms). Anyway I hope everyone has a great Saturday but my plan is to get a couple of hours on the lake before the boy wakes up so I have to go.

And congratulations to the Muskrats who won game one and put on a great show, on the field and off.

7:00 So I held off a little bit for the lightning to pass and went out at about 5:15 I got a good hour and a half in with moderate to heavy rains but when the lightning returned at quarter of seven I said that's about enough of that. I might be foolish but not that foolish. Although of the four of five people out that early in the rain there was one guy who stayed right out in his aluminum boat during the lightning without batting an eye. In fairness, he may have batted an eye there's no way to tell for sure. Maybe the reason why I can't catch a fish is that I'm not committed enough.
