Most extreme fishing conditions...
Lake Pinchot, PA. I was float tubing and working my way around a rock pile about 200 yards from shore when a fast moving thunder
storm blew in from nowhere. I'm paddling as fast as I can for the nearest shore when I get a BIG electric shock up my legs (lightning must of hit the lake some where) and everything from the waist down goes numb and my legs won't work. Talk about scared. . . . After about 10 minutes the feeling in my legs starts coming back and I can move again. I got to shore and it took a long time to go the short distance to my car as my legs where still weak. Now I check the weather a lot closer befor I head out. Bye the way Shawn, that's the same float tube you have now! Stay away from thunder storms in it.

What were the worst weather/water conditions you ever fished under? |

DK "Richard Liebert" wrote in message ... Lake Warner, PA, last March in a day long tournament. 1/2" sleet in the boat. Two fish I think. My son was 12 and could ask to leave anytime. He fished the whole tournament. "RichZ" wrote in message ...

I have had a few encounters with nocturnal animals including a mugger while
night fishing. |

Most extreme fishing conditions...
Speaking of snow. I had a friend of mine tell me about getting stuck in
Georgia for several days on the Interstate when they had a freak snowstorm that stopped everything. Sitting on the Interstate with the boat having left the "Big O" I think that was about 5 or 6 years ago. He said 4 wheel drive was useless as the locals and semis had every opportunity blocked until it melted. They should have stayed in Florida instead of trying to beat the storm home. Carlos |

drive was useless as the locals and semis had every opportunity blocked Its not the locals that block traffic after a snow or ice storm here - we got enough sense to stay inside where its warm. Its the damn yankees that "think" they know how to drive in it that block all the roads! Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

Maybe us damn Yankees "think" we know how to drive in it because we
"have" to for at least 4 months of the year. DamnYankees is one word that refers to folks that move to the south, not just visit and go home. And if they ever knew how to drive on snow and ice they sure don't show it here. Us smart southerners just stay home. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |

Yankees (was: Most extreme fishing conditions...)
A northerner who moves to Texas may be a Yankee transplant or a
Damnyankee. During the '80s "Let's all move to Texas" decade, "Native Texan" became a popular bumper sticker. I still see Yankee transplants with stickers that say: "Not a Native Texan.....but I got here as quick as I could!" Yankee transplants can make great Texans. Just being born here doesn't make you better than others, just luckier! Damnyankees can easily be spotted in crowds if you listen. They spend most of all coversations complaining about everything from weather to politics, and think their purpose on earth is to tell the rest of us how things are done so much better "up north".

I don't want to get into a mud-slinging contest (there's a better word
for it but I read the FAQ, so I won't use it). Frankly, I have about as much use for outta staters as you guys down south do...i.e., "Welcome! Spend your money...then go home!" No hard feelings, 'k? |

Welcome!
Spend your money...then go home!" No hard feelings, 'k? Amen to both. Had a laugh yesterday at the funeral home - we were talking about folks moving south and saying their kids are southerners because they were born here. Lewis Grizzard had a saying about that - just because the cat has her kittens in the oven we don't call them biscuits! Ronnie http://fishing.about.com |
