I’ve spent the past hour on Google, looking at some very profound quotes and witticisms from around the world on the topic of humility; I’ve spent the past six days tasting it.
In the blink of an eye we’ve gone from slathering our sweaty arms, legs and faces with sun block to sweating profusely under rain gear because the sun is blocked (by another passing downpour).
As I pushed forward the throttle leaving the Duckett Mill boat ramp – sun still low on the horizon – I thought to myself, “It’s chilly this morning. I should have brought a jacket.”
It has been an interesting week on Lake Lanier. The overcast weather that moved in Wednesday morning was great for fishermen; they were very active. The bass, on the other hand, changed their feeding patterns once it got cloudy.
The lake level continues to drop and water temperatures are as high as I have seen them in several years. On Wednesday morning, July 29th, the water temperature at the Vann’s Tavern boat ramp was 86 degrees shortly after sunrise.
A local fishing legend claims that the songwriter who penned the words to the Grammy Award winning song “What a Diff’rence A Day Makes” was also a fisherman; a fisherman who spent weekends on Lake Lanier during the summer and wanted to write a fishing song, but somehow ended up with a romantic ballad.
