Tonight is night one of the week on the water. Will f/u with report. In honor of getting back on the water - tonight's sentiment by ACDC "Back in Black, I hit the sack. I've been too long, I'm glad to be back".

Well, Back in Black turned into Hells Bells - "I'm a roaring thunder, a pouring rain" So we got out of the dock a little later than typical. Slow rolled downstream about two miles, no hurry to get there with some trash floating around here and there. Decided to try one of the routine points and found plenty of bait and some popping starting to happen. After a few minutes my partner landed a small one, maybe 6-8 lbs fishing top water. Then shortly thereafter some rain came. Not wanting to get everything wet right away, we rode over under some trees on bank line until it stopped. Back to the point for a while, but rain had slowed things there and after several minutes we started puttering on to another spot. We decided to check in on our two other fishing partners who were fishing around the bend from us - it happened, the sky broke loose. Driving rain, with very big raindrops. Thunder and close lightning that lit up everything like the Flick of the Switch in a dark room. Not the place to be. So we immediately headed home, trying to get off the water as quickly and as safely as possible. We made it in, albeit soaking wet but very thankful that the good Lord brought us home safely. So Night 1 goes to Mother Nature. Round two begins in approximately twelve hours from now, and the weather forecast may have us down 2-0 come tomorrow morning. But at the moment we have a beautiful morning, and as always thankful to be here. And as an aside- we did land a citation sized pizza from Benny's.

That is certainly a citation! Be careful out there....

They certainly do have some good pizza. Would be nice to have a pizza boat especially on those cold days.
