BucketmouthAngler13 Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 and then you can continue North to RI and make it a longer trip. And on the way back down you can stop in NJ and throw in a line with me and Alpster.
Super User Long Mike Posted March 11, 2007 Super User Posted March 11, 2007 Bad news guys and gals. I just looked at the AccuWeather long range forecast and rain is predicted at Fork for Monday the 19th. Of course we're still a week away, so that could change.
Guest the_muddy_man Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Ah lets see Accuweather says high in the 70's and rainy WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT thats not exactly bad news. They have the whole week being in the upper 60 and low 70's with minimal rain AINT NOBODY RAININ ON THIS PARADE 8-) Hey LM you fellas who are lucky enough to live daown South call this bad weather We still have 8 or 9 inches of snow on the ground and the avg Feb temp was 26 degrees SO ANYTHING ABOVE 32 degrees is good news to us yankees
Super User Long Mike Posted March 11, 2007 Super User Posted March 11, 2007 Point well taken Muddy. I tend to forget that you Yankees are still slogging through the white stuff. I don't mind fishing in the rain, so long as I don't hear thunder or see any of them there big sparks from the sky. In either case I'm not going anywhere near the water. Down here in Tornado Alley, an ordinary Spring shower can become violent in a great big hurry.
Guest the_muddy_man Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Thats why I will be paying very close atrtention to what you guys are saying and doing. I once witnessed a water spout that came onto us so quick on Lake Poncatrain it scared me bad and we were hundreds of yards away from in but i swear that storm got ugly on us in minutes!
Super User Long Mike Posted March 12, 2007 Super User Posted March 12, 2007 While we're telling war stories, several years ago I was playing golf here in Tulsa with my brother-in-law who had come up for a visit from Cajun country. We were probably on the 13th or 14th hole when the wind suddenly picked up. I looked up at the sky and the clouds were literally rolling in. They looked like a bunch of rolling logs packed one behind the other. I had never seen this phenomenon before and it made me very uneasy. Mind you, I had heard no distant thunder at all. I told my brother-in-law that I did not like the look of the weather and suggested we head back to the clubhouse. He looked at me like I was crazy, but didn't argue with me. We piled into the cart and made a bee-line for the clubhouse, which was no more than a ten minute ride away. By the time we got there the wind had picked up to 30 to 40 and thunder and lightning were in the distant area. We grabbed our clubs and hauled-a$$ across the parking lot to my truck. By then, it had begun to rain heavily. Just as we got into the truck all hell broke loose. It was like WWIII. Lightning like I have never seen. It seemed to be everywhere. The rain was coming down in sheets and the wind was so violent is was rocking my truck. I learned later that it was gusting to 70 mph. I made no attempt to leave the parking lot, because I could see no further than the end of my hood. We sat there for fifteen minutes and then it was all over. From dead calm to hurricane to dead calm in thirty minutes. The odd thing is, if the shape of the rolling clouds hadn't spooked me, we would have been caught right in the middle of it.
t bend tex Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 I don't fish with lightning about-my dad was killed by lightning!
Super User Long Mike Posted March 12, 2007 Super User Posted March 12, 2007 T-bend, my deepest condolences. Even the most cautious of fishermen can get struck my lightning from a cloud 10 miles away. I'm sure your Dad was very cautious and it was just one of those things that happens for no apparent reason. Nature work that way. The loss of a loved one can be very, very difficult to cope with. If you feel like talking, you have a great many people on this site to provide emotional support.

Super User Long Mike Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Muddy, not to change the subject, but, per your request, I tried to order a dozen loaves of salmonella bread with salsa seeds today. The people at the bakery looked at me like I was crazy and told me to either leave or the police would be called. Do you want me to try to order another type of Italian bread?
Guest avid Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 You got it all wrong. It's soprano bread with semem seeds. You non Italians kill me 8-)
Super User Long Mike Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Sorry Avid, us red-nek transplant Okies don't always look too smart, but we reely ar. OK, I'll be back to the bakery tomorrow with a request for 12 loaves of semen with soprano seed. This is getting a little confusing to me. I could have sworn that Muddy wanted me to order something different.
Guest the_muddy_man Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Hey Mike thanks dont knock yourself out it was actually semolina bread with SESAME SEEDS Regular Italian bread will more than do and get some fresh garlic please I have the Extra Virgin Olive oil to make the Garlic bread.

Super User Long Mike Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Dominick thanks, I guess I got a little confused with them big words, ;D. Plus, I was trying trying to have a little fun at your expense. BS aside, I placed an order for your Semolina bread this morning - WITH SESAME SEEDS. I'll pick it up on my way out of town on Sunday.
