Rescheduling Today's Trip...4/4/26

My older crew is local, and we decided we could wait for better conditions.

When we first talked, we rescheduled to the 10th. The forecast at the time I spoke to them was calling for less than 10mph. When I looked at the forecast again several hours later, it was showing gusts to 30mph on the 10th....smh. What? Come on!  I know, I know....you can't look at a forecast more than a day out at this time of year, because it keeps changing on a hourly basis. It's so frustrating! Grrrr....

I originally thought that the lake would be a big mud hole after all the rain and wind we had, but we did get a satellite picture, yesterday, (not the best photo, but good enough), and it showed that the lake was not as destroyed as we all thought it would be. 

I'm probably making a mistake by rescheduling this morning, because now that I have, it will probably mean that the window of opportunity will be longer than what it shown, and we could have had a good morning of catching.

But, on the flip side of that....the east wind might not die as soon as it is forecast to, and the window might be shorter than expected.  

If my guys were not local, we would probably be going, but they are, so their comfort and fun level is my priority. The fish aren't going anywhere. :)

Reports from yesterday afternoon, when people we able to get on the lake and get to those cleaner water areas, showed the fish are still chomping, and they did well. 

The wind forecast for all of next week looks like crap too. Mother Nature is not happy with us Humans it would seem.

The next scheduled trip is a two day adventure with two fellas from several states away, for Tuesday and Wednesday, and want to know on Monday morning, before they leave, if it's going to be fishable or not. Fingers crossed!

Stay tuned....
