Please send us rain
 
We need some bad. My early haunts are basically bone dry.

Yeh, worrying about the spawnfish and herring spawns too.

zimmy 03-20-2012 01:47 PM

we were talking about that at my spot last night. Way too low. No snow melt to look forward too. Ugly

One of the theorys about the YOY index is that in the big years the weather is wet and cold in the Chesapeake area. If it stays warm and dry we may be in for another off year. Let's see how it works out.

been worried about this too,,,

How many of those spawning fish never made that far south with the mild winter?

Don't you know
 
you have to dance around a campfire to solicit rain
and it pays to have a bottle of RUM :tooth:

careful not to fall in the fire.... :uhuh:

my fishing calendar shows the most probable days for rain
those are the moist days.... cancer scorpio and pisces
are best for rain...

should rain this weekend tho

Me too. My pond, which we built in1976 is down about 1 foot. It is usually overflowing in March.

looking like rain in the extended forecast for next week.

It is only March......April/May usually produce some rain.

Ponds in my area are down...but not as bad as I've seen them in the past.....we'll be fine

By this time last year, due to water levels, my early haunts had just become fishable with plenty of bass. I guess the same can be said for this year, the only difference is the only thing I'm catching is bottom. :mad:

I got new tires for my car and with a little spray they have that "wet" look.

There's no need for rain :devil2:

No worrys,
I plan on removing the shrink wrap off my boat soon. That alone should start about a month of rain.

Got into some holdovers yesterday. The one decent fish I had (probably @ 20#) broke me off on an exposed rock, that usually is a bout 6 feet under this time of year. Took me for a 20$ pencil.:cens:

Mikey,there won't be any run off from snow melt. for the first time in all my years here in VT,there is abosultly no snow left on the ground.not even the piles that are made by the snow plows,that will usually last into may. Sugarbush,my local ski area is down to a couple of trails for probably the last weekend of the year.that would be almost 6 weeks earlier than normal.looks like i will be heading to the cape sooner than i want.just hope the fish arrive sooner.

Raven 03-23-2012 09:45 AM

it seemed like Europe or Australia got our rain
