Thread: Anybody have a weather forecast for tomorrow

Hey Scrapper, now we don't have to build them, but if I did lovebugs and mosquitos would not exist. Sorry about your orchard. It will get better and stop raining someday. Wish we could send it out west.

I bet God wanted Noah to build a boat so he could fish.

Yeah, no body knew how long "long lining" had actually been around...can you imagine casting off that ark?!? lol

Lets be thankful that "two of every kind" included crappie!! lol

"D", I hear that!! Its not that big of a deal about the orchard...I mean it is....but there is something to letting the land "trees" rest. Says it in the Bible, and we learned about it college when I was getting my agriculture degree. lol. Guess the trees will get a rest. I don't want to fuss about the rain too much, wasn't a couple years ago that we all were in a major drought...a roll of hay was going for 60 or 70 bucks around here, I heard even higher in some places. On the bright side, gives a fella more time to take the kids fishing! :D

Scrapper, too bad about the orchard. The last 2 years were a disaster for my figs because of the rains. This year is shaping up nicely with a lot of rain early to grow the trees and figs. The trees are loaded and all I need is a little help from Mother Nature.

Well Scrapper I can tell you I started long lining back in the late 1970's, but didn't call it that. I was bass fishing mostly then, but some crappie too. Anyway one day fishing what we call the community hole (huge expansive flat) and the wind just got my goat so I just tied on a Roadrunner and started drift fishing and started catching some big crappie. Then it hit me that I could do the same thing even if the wind was not blowing, just use my trolling motor, what an idea that turned into. I have fished that way every spring since I came back here in the 1990's. I spent 11 years on salt water near Corpus and didn't like the fresh water locations there so just went salt around 1981.

Well now at least you know one person that was long lining in the late 1970's and who knows who else may have been, but I was guiding in 1979 and mostly bass, but I would run to the crappie that fall every time I wanted fish and didn't have a guide trip to do and caught more than ever. Back then I had a couple spots in the fall that you could catch so many it was crazy!

Hey thats a cool story!! Thanks for sharing that. I'm going to stop posting on this thread though. Feel like its been kind of high jacked from the original intent...mainly because of me. Sorry for that armand!!

Have to say i've never visited over here in the LA forum...may have to a bit more. Nice over here. I'm not an hour or so from you guys anyways and on the topic of weather...we get most of the same. lol I use NOAA out of shrevport. It defaults to fortsmith....but shrevport seems to have the better radar for us over here.
