    Default Another day in the rain


    This past April set all time record for rain with more projected. Son wanted to try the river even though it was high and looked like chocolate milk. I didn't really expect anything but stuck a couple nice white bass on a 1/4 football bunny jig. After that moved to lake and started in back corner where I'd been catching lot's of gills. Saw about a dozen Redear spawning close to the bank and caught one and lost one before casting away to open water where the gills were active. Really biting good but started raining good and got wet again. Still a fun day. Name:  IMG_6121.jpg

    I can handle a little drizzle as long as I can stay warm and I’m catching something.
    Nice catches ! Glad you could get out and have someone to go with .

    I’d like to fool with some whites like those! Just the right size to be lots of fun. I carry my hunting rain jacket in the truck most of the time. If I get too cold I usually wind up sick, plus it breaks the wind on other days. My days coming……

    The white bass were really dark and backs were black in the muddy water. Thought I hooked a black crappie they were so dark. Son didn't bring his ultralight and only brought bass gear, managed two bass when we hit the lake on bunny spins. I wear sunglasses even on cloudy days. Wouldn't have seen those spawning redear without them even though they were in water less than a foot deep. Couple of those females were pushing 12" but not interested in my tiny jigs so didn't try to long. Weren't there two days earlier. Going back again today.

    Really nice fish. I really struggle with the chocolate water, but when it’s dirty and falling watch out! Good times.
