This is the summer of Thunderstorms!   Once again, the day was sunny and beautiful, but at take-off time, Mother Nature fired up her dark, stormy clouds.    When the rain, wind, and lightening cleared around 9:00pm, the lake calmed down and the moon shinned bright.

        When the water warms up, so does the team of Derrick Lovett and Donnie Rudolph.   Often bringing in hefty weigh bags, they didn’t disappoint as their 5 fish limit topped the 21 pound mark.
