Day Three - Rain and the River

Today was a good fishing day with a number of large fish as well as a few smaller ones. Our start this morning was very interesting because the water is so low! The water did not even reach the boat ramp. WE had to carry the boat out to the water and then walk the boat once it was in the water because the Susquehenna was so low. We were probable 50 yards from shore before the water was deep enough for us to get into the boat. But as I said, we caught some nice fish.

The weather was almost perfect . . . cloudy and windy which means it was cool and comfortable without sunglasses and a hat. The downside was the rain showers and when you have to put a stnky poncho or some rain gear on. Thank God we are in a camper and not a tent for tonight. It is supposed to rain some more.

The worse thing was that the battery cable broke off the truck and we had more than one scary moment when we could not get the truck cranked. I fact ultimately we had to go get a new battery. Tomoorw we are going to fish a new part of the river if we don't get rained out.
