Made some progress on the niece’s deck today..

Good afternoon folks. Nice cool (almost 60f) dry afternoon for tinkering outside and in the garage.

 

[Hedgerow]

We incorporated some hedge 4x4’s into it..

I am tired today, 14 by noon. Water is on the rise, but other than the wind it is rather nice today.

How do you catch them? Bait, snag, other?

 

[JimBear]

About .30” of rain, so far. Had some twister warnings out south of us. Haven’t heard any reports.

 

[plcnut]

Spent a few hours in the shop with a couple of my boys. Got some chains square ground, and some saw maintenance done. When the rain stopped, we went and sawed some logs at the neighbors and got most of it hauled home. They were big enough that my 32 would not quite make it through some of them. Thankfully it was close enough that I was able to haul the partially sawed logs home on the tractor forks.
I have an issue with my 395. It ran great, and I was able to saw for about 10 minutes when it acted like I had let go of the throttle. It would drop back to idle, and I could almost immediately rev it back up and continue cutting. It would repeat the same problem a few seconds later. Opening the fuel cap (to equalize any pressure difference) made no difference.
Any ideas?

Snag, they are filter feeders. You never know where you will hook them and in the rising current it can be a challenge.

So do you just pull your line in and catch one by chance, or can you see them and try to hook a specific one?

Heading down toward us. Rain is fine, storms not so much. I can do without them.

Random fishing from bank like we have been the last couple days. The big trend for guides is to live scope them and snag them that way. Not something I really want to do. You can see from these pictures just the color of the water we are fishing. Rains are bringing runoff into it and this is triggering the spawning run. In the last picture, look right below my rod eye and you can see my boy holding the setup we use. 8/0 barbless treble with a number 3 sinker below it.

Looks like it might get interesting tonight!

The radar is looking ugly down your way

 

[nbbt]

Good morning folks. Rains should be starting again soon and showing on radar to be likely for the next day or so.

Stay safe folks.

Looks to be another day of tinkering under a roof.

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

 

[I saw a lot]

I touched base with @ I saw a lot, she said she was good, mainly NW Omaha.

Sorry all, I should have checked in after the storms. I was up in Missouri Valley Friday on a Burger King menu board replacement. Didn't get out of there until the storms were pretty much out of the area and in Iowa. We are fine, 1.5" rain and I'm told some pea size hail. Western and northwestern did not fair well but haven't seen any of the damage. Glad to hear no loss of life at least.

Thanks for checking on my Jim.

Glad to hear you were safe.

 

[Hedgerow]

Ended up with 1.5” of wet from a rather noisy system that mostly went north of us..

Nevada area got some epic rainfall amounts..

 

[JimBear]

Looks like right at 1” overnight, I didn’t here any hail put it got really windy & poured around 4:00am this morning. Guessers are saying more this afternoon & midweek.

We should be around 2.70” so far.

It was pretty bad, just missed us by a few miles, other than some heavy rain. I was up until about 1:30-2:00, just woke up about 20 minutes ago!
