[T-Boo]

Fished the evening, 5-7:45 pm. Caught 6, all small. Missed four short-strikers.
Spoke with a nice guy at the dock while loading the boat who lives by there and has a good amount of experience in the Pool. He said that the lightning and thunder they had with the significant rainfall spooks the fish into not biting.
This made sense, with the Pool being so shallow.
Was wondering what you guys thought about this theory.
*Also: I first saw this same gentleman earlier in the evening while I was trolling a canal in the North Pond. He stopped his motor about 65 yards away from me.
I'm thinking, "this dude is gonna start fishing right by my a$$ in this huge pond".
He lowers his trolling motor into the water about 40 yards from me, and we engage in general ****-chat. I'm still thinking, "well, would you look at this crap..."
He trolls past me about 30 more yards and fires up his outboard!!!
This was probably the most good-natured example of simple sportsmanship I have ever encountered. That guy went above and beyond, out of his way, and at a considerable inconvenience to himself, to respect the fact that I was trying to catch a fish.
That is the kind of fisherman I want my son to grow up and be. And the kind of fisherman I will try to work on being, myself.
There are still good folks out there.
