Fishing is one of the most calming sports in this stressful world. But, it doesn’t come without the potentially deadly exposure from the ugly side of Mother Nature. If you have experienced the desperate feeling out on the water, watching cumulonimbus clouds building as you listen to low rumbles of thunder, and you know you’re a long way from the marina or your dock, we know why you entered this website. So, you begin counting seconds between rumbles. Maybe you have a weather radio telling you there’s a chance of showers. But, nothing of value because it covers too broad an area. And, it isn’t telling you anything of timely value right now. So, do, you turn around and high tail it for home, or do you stay out there and trust your luck? Do you have enought time to make it back if it you choose to?
WHAT FISHERMEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THUNDERSTORMS.
Lightning can strike out of a clear blue sky with no visual or audible warning. That’s because the warnings can be too far away to be seen or heard. Trees, hills and mountainous terrain can block the sound of thunder and cloud-cover can hide approaching storm activity. Thunder can only be heard up to 4 miles away. However, lightning can strike from 10 miles away. When you hear thunder, lightning has already happened and you are within the "deadly" range. Believing that you can count seconds between thunder is one of the most dangerous mistakes fishermen make. A fisherman should never take a chance, believing that what you can't see and can 't hear, can't hurt you. Anticipate the weather with ThunderBolt.
