The plus side regarding all this rain for me is I'm getting plenty of excersize cutting my yard and my parents yard...earlier in the year I was working so much overtime it didn't matter whether it rained, sleeted, snowed or hailed, I wasn't able to go fishing anyway. The bad news is I feel a terrible pattern here, every few months or so as I'm getting ready and psyched to hit the water (early spring, winter, late winter, fall, etc) to fish, something always happens to make it so I have to put any fishing trip off a week, then two weeks, then three weeks and so on, and before I realize it the dag gone best days are gone and I find myself thinking: "C'mon fall, I'm not going to let fall fishing pass me by this year!" Time will tell.
I know lots of you fish the Ohio and also fish at night, etc, and there's probably some good fishin' to be had, but right now for me I will probably only fish the farm pond and maybe drown some minnows, worms or crickets in search of crappie or blue gill while fishing off the back of the Sea Ray with the wife (yes I'm one of those summer boater types that everyone complains about)...the only difference is this: "About a week ago the wife and I were at Indian Creek on LC...we're early birds anyway so as soon as we got up and took the dog's up the hill to do their business we headed up towards the dam on one of the foggiest mornings I've seen in June. Once we got to the mouth of Indian Creek some boats started coming into view that were striper fishing...the fog was so thick I said the heck with it and shut the motor down and drifted. My wife commented on how quiet it was and how peaceful the fishing boats looked in the distance with all the fog, etc, my response to her was: "I feel like we're invading their space."
Fish on feller's, these crazy weather patterns will soon cease and we'll be picking tomatos! Bacon, lettuce, mayo and a THICK slice of tomato please.
