I'm here to say...

Up at 4am. Drive to Monticello. Rain is out of forecast. Get here and watch it build and sky to ground lightning all around...

Now collincountytx and myself are sitting in the truck wondering how long it's gonna take for the lightning show to pass

Here's how weathermen keep their job, " 50% chance of rain today, tomorrow and forever ". Never wrong. Don't know if any of you remember Harold Taft but he was the best ever, done more with less than all these guessers today. Can't wait for Monday morning and hear their excuses if they even mention it.

Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

Worth is on fire right now, I absolutely smashed them Saturday. Caught fish from the nature center all the way to the dam. It was the forecast for bluebird skies today with no rain that kept me off the lake, had I known it was going to be like this I'd have been there again today. Can't wait for the Wednesday night tournament so I can get out there again!

My last three biggest bass, one of them 9 pounds, came on days I probably shouldn't have been on the lake. The 9 came on a very, very windy day, I think I was the only one on the lake that day. If I am going on a given day, I go, the only thing that keeps me in the truck is lightning, I am a scared of lightning. I watch the weather for the wind direction so I can choose the boat launch I want to use; since I go by myself most of the time, it can very difficult to load and unload by yourself on an unprotected boat ramp.
By the way, my wife says I am idiot anyway. I always call somebody when I am at the ramp unloading and call when I get back.

That's why they're called "Weather-guessers".

They've been consistently wrong the last year. Best part is how much they get paid to make poor guesses.

My beef is their inaccurate wind forecasts. Each Monday, they should have to say "My weekend wind forecast was x and the actual wind was y" (y would usually be 2x).

I've learned to add the 2 numbers together to get the actual wind! 10-15=25mph, 5-10=15mph.

The weatherman may not be angler but he ought to be, he's got the lying part down pat.
