Thread: Rain

Since either last Friday or Saturday (can't remember when the heavy rain started), I've pour 9.25" of rain out of my gauge. Enid is back to her banks again now. The water at the Long Branch ramp is almost up to the point where the ramp angles into the lake! I went out this morning and the water has risen 2.5 to 3 feet since last week when I was fishing. The place I was fishing shallow at 2.5/3' is now over 6' deep, the trees I used to tie to when I got tired of fighting the wind are under the water, and the rock I used to tie my boat to when I was backing the trailer down is lost to the sea!

When out today and fished everywhere. Long Branch, Bean, and one creek that I don't know it's name. Caught more crappie than I ever have, and either lost or threw back all but two. I don't know how many I had that were between 11 and 12". Those were hard to put back in the water. I was thinking about slipping them out, and then my honest nature kicked in. Sometimes I wish I hadn't had such good parents...they like taught me stuff. Yuck!

Anyway, there's plenty of water at Enid!

I take that back. There ain't fixin' to be a storm and more rain. I was wrong. It's here already. I had my battery charger sitting out in it, along with my bubble maker for my leftover minnows, and my windows down on my truck. I'm on the ball today.
