Guest boston Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ha ha, as I had it put to me the other day, predicting the future can be tough sometimes, standard forcast should read, sunny with cloudy periods with 50 50 chance of rain or snow, , would cover just about anything.

smerchly Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ya...the weatherman is more changable than the weather !Last night it said rain for Sunday , this am it says 33*C. (hot hot hot) ......on THE weather channel. Many a fishing trip has been cancelled because of rain in the forecast.......and many trips ruined because of high winds and rain when it was "supposed" to be nice ! All this new satelite-radar technology and like Boston said , just say 50% chance of rain ...Hell.....even if they say 90% chance of rain , they can still say , guess you were in the 10% zone if they were wrong......

packrat Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Only two sleeps to go. Went out this morning and picked up a couple of things for the ouitng. We got the Keilbosa. We got the Pumpernickle bread. We got a block of cheese----and some soft drinks to wash it all down with. Last but not least if we get to where we're going and the trip gets scrubbed-----we will resort to Plan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basshound Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Some of the best fishing I ever did was on rainy days as long as the winds are fairly calm. A light rain can really turn the bass on in Erie. Those blue sky days are the toughest for triggering a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packrat Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Got the call tonight----doesnt look good for the morning--25mm rain and strong winds---better to reschedule for another day. Really not TOO surprised at that. Been scrubbed twice now maybe third time lucky? Good thing tho---get to eat the goodies myself----just so they dont go bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after sitting here all day and looking at the weather I decided to shoot my ride a line last night cuz I just HAD to know how the weather turned out down his way. Got his reply this morning---"got out around noon to light drizzle and calm lake---limited out on eyes but took longer then usual". Dont you just hate it when that happens????
