    Default Had to quit early


    We went to Tull's creek and had to give up. We caught 2 keepers and a lot of little ones. Then I don't know which was worse, the wind or the hail. I think that was the first time I ever fished in hail. Fortunately it was real small stuff. Oh well, maybe thursday.

    I just realized why fishing was so lousy. The barometer was around 29.5 all day. Way too low.

    I have found that the barometer needs to be around 30 and stable for 2-3 days for the fish to be active.

    The storms must have stayed on the southside. We got nothing over here on the peninsula except a brief storm last night.

    At least you got out, I spent the weekend pressure washing the exterior of the house and started changing the brake pads on my wife's car.
