Happy Friday,
Summer is starting to really settle in now and typically this time of the year the fish starting heading to deeper, cooler water. I did find one local hot spot, Leavenworth State fishing lake seems to be a place where the large mouth bass are still biting. The bluegill are active feeding on worms dangling at the end of bobbers. The Lake of the Ozarks is apparently a good place for night fishing, for all kinds of fish. Crappie are hitting a little bit around the docks.
I don't have a fish picture this week, but I do have this awesome weather pic from Ben & Claire Griswold.
They took this picture while on a sailing vacation in the Mayan Riviera. One night they were docked at a small island about 20 minutes north of Cancun. They were watching the sun set behind some big thunderheads when they saw what they describe as "rainbow clouds" Local fisherman say they see this every five years or so. What did Ben & Claire see? Well likely the thunderstorms were reaching thousands of feet into the atmosphere, up to a level where the winds were blowing relatively strong. I think what they saw were cirrus clouds or ice crystals being blown off the top of the thunderstorm with the sun hitting it at just the right angle to give the clouds a rainbow appearance.
Ben & Claire, great picture! Glad to see you had a memorable vacation.
Have a great weekend,
Brett
