I did the same, didn't wait until the rain was over. We hit the road after viewing the radar and knew it was ending shortly. WE left the boat launch in the rain but arrived at the first stop 20 minutes later in sunshine. Way to much water out there. We search and search and could not find and willing fish to join us for supper. Stopped in one muddy hole and caught one sac 6" long and released him after taking a picture for the "release for seed" contest. Also caught a small goggle eye. Nice boat ride just the same. Had to get some fresh air and water under the boat.
