Hey Blair. Lake Conroe is all good. The fishing sucks right now. As you read what I am about tell you just put your brain in animation mode. A few weeks ago Devin and I go out one a.m. to do some serious fishing. Beautiful morning, kinda cool all good. We make our first stop and getting some good bites. About 30 min. pass and we hear thunder. Look to the west and over the house tops we see a small thunder head. No lighting. Gets a little closer and we decide OK we better head for the house. Move out into the open water and we are trapped. Wall of water to the east, north, west and can't go south. Hummmmmmmmmmmmm. So I say "D___ Devin what do we do now." No response. Several seconds later he moves up beside me sitting in the floor hat backwards sunglasses snug to his face and life jacket pulled up so tight he can't hardly breathe and says "Go for it Dad I'm in." I follow suit and turn my hat around, pull my jacket up tight, tighten the aggie strings on my sunglasses and here we go WFO straight into a wall of water I can't see through. I said a little prayer asking God to give me just half the captian skills of Sig Hansen, put the ole super john boat up on plane and here we went. Now let's say you are a motorist on the 105 bridge that has stopped because the rain is so hard you can't see and you look over your shoulder and here comes two rednecks in an over sized john boat in a no wake zone at 40 mph (my kingdom for sunglasses wipers) and they go under you and don't appear on the other side. What would you think? Yep we shut her down that fast and sat it out under the bridge. Gotta admit it's a priceless picture. Are you laughing yet? Nothing like good times on the lake. Kinda late. Gotta go. Uncle Gearhead and Doppler Devin (ha ha)
