I had so many omens and fish gods telling me not to fish this one.

It had been raining 24 hours already I first learned the night before around 12:00 am that I had left my hooks, weights and my hard tackle in Ty's car from the Lake fork trip. I had to make a run to walmart and get only the essentials.

I hadn't slept and set out in the pouring rain--When I arrived in Lewisville I was behind a drunk driver who made me wait until he either crashed or got of the freeway. After I long passed the driver I headed for the lake ramp, but couldn't seem to find it. I had been there many times before, but not at night.

After a good 30 min I found it and waited for my boater to arrive. He was suppose to meet me at 5:30am. A man who parked next to me knocked on my window and asked if I had a hanger. He said his buddy locked his keys in his car and if I had a hanger maybe he could unlock it. I told him I didn't.

The phone rang and it was my boater letting me know that he had arrived. I grabbed my gear hand headed towards him, but then stopped and realized what I had done. I locked my keys in my car. Luckily his friend was also fishing and had a slimjim and after a good fifteen minutes he was able to unlock it.

From 6:30-2:30 was nothing but freezing rain and lightning with no fish. My hands and feet were numb from being cold and wet.

I didn't realize how much it had rained until my way home and saw cars underwater and creeks higher than I had ever seen them--it came out in the news the next day of the huge floods in DFW.

For the love of fishing.

Update:
I am currently in 23rd along with many others.

What a great birthday! My first trip to lake fork and something I will always remember. Ty and I setup with Tim Walker's guide service you can read more about home here. We had a blast we started off in the morning with white flukes and Tim caught one right off the bat. We moved to another location where Ty caught an awesome 7 pounder using a watermelon senko. We continued to use senkos for the next few hours before lunch and in that time I landed a nice 3 pounder and 2 nice size ones.


After lunch we headed out to a remote spot where I noticed there was more grass and the water was very clear. I switched to a white spinnerbait and with my first cast landed a nice fish. I got settled and after a few more casts I hooked into a nice 5-6 pounder that jumped five times before I got it into the boat. I limited out with a nice kicker and managed a decent 14lbs for the day.


I am going to try to go back in two weeks. I can't wait.
