This is one heck of a rain which should really mess up a lot of the bass spawn in the big lakes. So much for a spring, shallow, bush, flip/surface bite trip for me this year. I think the corp of engineers web site computers went under water this afternoon but the last they displayed Barkley had jumped 3 feet already and I am sure it is still rising. At least at this rate I should be able to stock my basement soon and can at least fish close! Geez we go from one extreme to the other - cold winter, very warm spring. Dry early spring to the flood of 2010. What in the world next? Has to be global warming -- Obama and Gore say so...
