Saturday a few fish and lots of rain

[dbullard]

I went up to Livingston hoping to get a few hours in before the storm.
I got the pontoon back in the water about day light.
I caught a white bass a couple of goo's and about 5 cats. About the time they start biting good the thunder gets a little to close for comfort.
I head back in thinking what it could have been with a couple more hours of fishing.It rain and rains and rains some more.

I had rain gear but not lightning gear,when your dad has a friend killed on the lake by lightning you tend to think about it a little.
After a nap and it starts clearing I decide to head out and try it a little.
I fished from about six till 8 and caught 7 cats and a couple goo's.
All and all I made the best of it.
These weather patterns sure have the weekends missed up right know.
I am thankful to have a job but I sure wish I could fish during the week.
I will post a pic later.

Not too bad there Dbullard, thanks for the pics. After eating those gaspergoos the other day, I won't be throwing anymore back. They are some fine eating fish.

Those goos are pretty good spiced up and grilled!

What is this about good eating Goos?
Like the game warden said who checked a friend of mine who was new to saltwater and had a cooler full of hardhead catfish, "Some people will eat anything".
Here it goes, 4 pages of Goo recipies, lol.
Having raised a family on whitetails and fish, the only way we could eat the larger drum was in fish chowder, very good.
Way to make the best of it dbullard, I for one believe that you caught some in the morning. And it does not take much lighting to run me off the water either.

The only recipe for goos I have is for cut bait!!!LOL
If Ole Gator Gar would of showed up I would have kept the goos for him.

Thanks for the report and the pics. Wish I could make one more trip before they get off the bulkheads. I too had a friend killed by lightning on Livingston. Scary stuff on a lake that big.
