This is a great thread. I've had a few scary experiences in some of the open water areas of LOTW, but thankfully, nothing like some of these stories. Still, after a few of my experiences, I've admittedly become a major wuss with any possibility of lightning, wind and/or big waves. Some might just say that I've smartened up....but big water is scary stuff! As was said above, if you think that might need to evasive action, don't question it, just do it and do it ASAP!

Location: On the O

Last year I was fishing on a stretch of the river and I could see the storm moving towards me, the sky was black and I knew it was just a matter of time before the rain hit, but it was also that prime pre storm period where I just knew some fish would be on the move. The launch was just across the river so I wasn't worried about making it in. I watched the storm roll in and never once saw a flash or heard any thunder, so I thought to myself, what's a little rain might as well stay out. Well as soon as the wall of rain got to where I was fishing there was a huge BOOM (never saw the flash) but it scared me good. Headed to the launch and sat in the truck for 50 minutes watching the storm. Was able to get out again after but needless to say I don't need to see a flash anymore before I head in.
