I DONT KNOW WHAT WERE GOING TO DO., HAY HAS JUMPED UP LIKE CRAZY AND ALOT OF THE LOCAL FARMERS ARE HAVING TO TRAVEL TO GET IT FOR THEIR LIVESTOCK I CANT EVER REMEMBER A WINTER THIS DRY AND WINDY IN ALL MY LIFE AND EVEN HEARD THAT FROM SOME OF THE OLD TIMERS.:sad:

[bud1110]

I hope it continues to rain for a few more days, as it's really dry around here..

Maybe we all will get enough rain to do some good..

[james]

We got some really heavy rains here in Lewisville about 1:00am its been on and off since about 7:00am now if it would just last a couple more days:0a17:

[bearcat]

Glad to hear you guys are getting rain. I know from reports that it has beem really rough for you all.

[Aquacat]

bearcat, thanks for asking. The wild fires were out of control here in texas and oklahoma. My rain gauge tonight was at 1 1/2 inches! :)

[TDawgNOk]

Glad ya'll got some, wish we woulda gotten some rain. I've about forgotten what rain feels/looks like. Tulsa seems to keep missing it. Over and over and over.

[james]

Still raining here in Lewisville hope all this rain stops all these grass fires last i heard on the news over 455,000 thousand acres have burned

[Catfishmomma]

Went out to the barge last Saturday....kids wanted to soo I did. Sure was glad that I did. I watched the best sky show.....Lightning all over the place with thunder rolling. It was wonderful! Started to rain around 12:15am, and I was outside in it! Never had rain felt so good. By the time I went inside the barge it was pouring down! Wonderful Wonderful rain.

It's suppose to rain again Thursday, so I'm praying with all my heart for more rain. We sure do need it....saw a horrible grassfire not this weekend, of course, but the last weekend. Could see from the east side of the Fishing barge.

Was so good to wake up Sunday and see that rain coming down.

[james]

we need for it to rain for a couple days straight. Yall do any good at the barge?

[Wally]

3/4" last night and thats it for a week or so...Wind is picking up to DRY things out AGAIN:sad:

[james]

Heard here in Lewisville we got 1 1/2 inches of rain sure needed it but more of it seen in the Dallas mornin news there was a picture of Lake Lavon sure wasn't a pretty sight

[jstall]

Carthage got about one inch. The river is up some and Toledo came up six inches. One are two more ramps open becaused of last weeks rain and this one. Still very very low water conditions here. The White bass are started up the river, they are full of eggs.
Joseph

[Coloman]

We ended up with about 1 1/2" here! They are talking about somemore next week! LET IT RAIN!!!!!!!!!

[T-Bone]

1 1/2" here also. Forgot to tie the boat cover down, and I had to bail out 15 5gal. buckets of water from the jon. Didn't bug me too bad, we need the rain.

[Bubbakat]

T-bone you need to get you a bilge pump and install in that thing or leve the plug out while its on land.:) :)

[T-Bone]

Wallard I did have the plug out. I've got one of those blue tarps from Wallie World and have a pvc frame made up to fit the inside of the jon. The tarp fits nicely when the pvc is in place. I had the tarp drapped over the boat (no pvc), so when it rained the tarp fell inside the boat and acted like a kidie pool to hold the water.
A bilge pump is in the plans also.

[Bubbakat]

I have made that sme mistake before myself tod.:)

[james]

Got some nice showers this mornning didn't last long enough though.

[james]

Finally we are getting some good long rains. Forcast shows we will be getting rain tell monday morning. Theses rains should help out with all the fires and get the lakes up a bit sure need it.

[T-Bone]

OOOHHH YEA !!!!!!! Rain started last night and had been going strong all morning long. Weather map looks like it's gonna be a good soaking rain all weekend. This should really help out those fires and lakes like ya said James......

Just seen the news they said 95% of the fires are now out if not they will be due to the rain

[lawnman61]

It sure is nice to see some of this wet stuff. It really helps out my business too, it will keep us busy making money for a change.
We need it for the fires and our lakes but I'm ready to go FISHING !!!
I hope it stays wet enough for our gathering in Texoma in April but have nice days for fishing at the gathering.
Looking forward to meeting the brothers.
Have a good day all

[james]

Still raining here in Lewisville im guessing we got around 3 inches now hope it keeps it up:0a20:

[catrat]

:0a20: :0a20:Sure is good to get some rain,but it realy ruins my fishing trip to Denton creek.

[lawnman61]

I like to see the rain for now, it helps put oxygen back in the water for the fish and makes them bite better. Hope we don't end up with a drought by summer again this year, we need a better year for fishing our lakes.

[sbursik]

If the lake is getting 1/2 as much as my yard then this should be really good! Man, Lake Bursik should be ready for fish in a day or 2.

[T-Bone]

Hello Bill !!!!! Ya under water yet ? I'm watchin' the news and seeing most of G.P. is under water.......
Man, this rain is nice but, dang all at once.
Water has reached both levies on the Trinity and is climbing......
We still have a huge storm building to our south west that will hit us pretty soon...

Hey T-Bone, we are getting so wet over here in east Ft Worth that I got my little 10ft pelican boat out just in case we get flooded out. I love all this rain but to much at one time just causes problems with flooding. I'm not to far away from Bell Helicopter and it flood real bad down there, they always close the road cause it gets that bad but I'm pretty safe where I live, way up on a hill but I may have to break out the 10 footer to get the wife to work tomorrow morning, LOL
Have a good one

P.S. Are you going to be at the gathering in Texoma ?? I will be there.


AL

[Coloman]

I have spent a few hours doing flood control. We have had about 7" this weekend, over 5" in a few hours. My backyard was under water,in some places over a foot deep. The street in front of the house was about 3" over the curb.

[augila]

My creek has started running, the ponds are rising and just checked the website for the Sabine River and it has come up a foot today. Hope Tawakoni gets enough water so that I can use the ramp at Holiday because I made up some new jugs that need to get wet.

[T-Bone]

Hey Al, looks like another round coming your way ! Yes I plan to be there, looks like by my self though, my buddy has gotta work.

Hello David. I think Tawakoni will rise some after all this ends. My spot on the north end is way way way out of the water. I'd like to think 9" of rain will do it some good.
Heck Joe Pool is releasing at lot of water, mountain creek lake right below J.Pool is flooding also.

[Coloman]

I went by Lake Arlington tonight. Last Wed. it still about 8' low, tonight it is full ar maybe a little high.

[lawnman61]

T-Bone, we had that round a little bit ago of rain but we are safe here.
We will be looking forward to seeing you at the gathering.
Coloman is a good high school friend of mine and he says he'll be there most likely for 1 day (Saturday).
I know we'll have a good time that weekend as long as the rain stays away.

AL

[Coloman]

Alan Rain is better than Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lawnman61]

Alan Rain is better than Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill, you talk the truth bud.
They say that we got more than 10 inches of rain today alone.

[TXBlueHunter]

My rain gauge reads just a little over 9 inches. They are saying more is coming within the next few hours. We have gotten so much rain the last two days I can not see ground in my back yard. I walked out into it and it is well above my ankles.

[TexasCatfish]

Hello all, I'm new here. I'm from the DFW area. I fish a lot in Cleburne, but the water has been so low, hopefully all this rain will help out, we sure got a ton of it in the past two days. :)

[T-Bone]

Hey Nick, glad to have ya Bro. Welcome aboard. Ya will find no other place like our place. Read learn and teach us some thing. Ya just might be white water raftin' on the Nolen after this rain lets up.

[Coloman]

We ended up with a little over 8" of rain. The lake that was my back yard has gone way down. For a while I had about a foot of water back there. It almost got in my shop, the floor is about 13-14" off the ground.

[squirtspop]

Just saw on Fox news that Dallas got 7 inches of rain and is flooded. One person killed so far. Lots of houses and businesses flooded and lots of people being rescued. Getting some rain here in Arkansas but nothing serious.

[Coloman]

I grew up in that white STUFF! I'll take rain over snow any day! LOL

[andi1950]

We got just 1" here at Lake Belton. I hope it rained more upriver. We are still low.

Been watching the news up there around D & FW. Man when ya'll do a rain dance, you do it up right. I hope all are safe.

[fishin-crazy]

yesterday down here in south texas we got about 8in. of rain in about two hours. flooded some parts of town but the farmers loved it. i like it too becase the creek not far from my house where i catch bait is filling up, cant wait to go fishin!!

[squirtspop]

Came back from Austin on Monday and got a few sprinkles on the way back. TV was saying it was gonna last for 3 days. Here in Arkansas they are calling for it tomorrow. Is cloudy and looking like it may be early.

[T-Bone]

Just a short sprinkle today but they are sayin' heavy rains thursday nite.

[T-Bone]

Got some really heavy rain last night and they are saying another heavy round early Friday morning. I here some of y'all down south of us got small pretty good sized hail today.
