HOT & DRY

With 100 degree temps and no rain, I ain't been fishing! The last blog entry was pretty much the last time I've been out. I did hit a couple of small farm ponds and caught a few before it got to triple digits but nothing to brag on. 70% chance of rain on Saturday from the mountains down so hopefully the river will rise at least a foot. Going on vacation in 7 days so praying for some rain. Right now the river is low, slow, weeds and algae everywhere, so being on it is more of a chore than a pleasure.
Since it's going to rain; Johnny and I are going to BPS's to take the "Boating VA" course. Required for Johnny now, required for me by 2016 to operate any PWC or vessel with 10HP or more. Able to spend a day with my son learning about something we both enjoy and will have us ready when we get our Riverpro jet boat next year. Also during breaks, we can walk around BPS's and pick up a few things. Reading some of the Smallie forums, flukes in pearl white are working as well as white frogs. Also bought some soft baits on Riversmallies so I need to pick up some heavy duty bait bags or ziploc baigs to put them in my main tackle bag. 1 week, JRSP, here we come, can't wait!!!
