Cranking in the Rain today.

[cevans]

Got on the water at 8:15 am and it was lightly raining and kept at it till a break about 1ish. Hit the river channel and for the first 1 1/2 hrs not a hit or a dink even,,so thought I needed a new game plan and went to a long bank I previously had long lined with jigs a couple of weeks ago and moved out to 10-12 ft of water and ran the bandits about 7.5 or so deep and started catching fish as I am thinking they are moving to shallows to spawn. Next 3 hrs took a limit at a speed of 1.5 to 1.8 mph varing depth and speed. Kept 6 at 10"or alittle more, then all the rest were 11 to 14". Salad bar, hotty toddy (pink) and purple w black were the hot colors. Water temp was 77. Went back at noon along the river channel to a couple of my hot spots and still no hits by anything so it was following the points, shallow bay areas as I probably caught 50 today. Loaded up at 1:30 pm and called it a nice but wet day.
