Rainy Day Thumpers

I decided to pull out the ole Frogg Toggs and hit Lake X before the Monsoon hit. Well, I fished for ten minutes before the rain started and had five in the boat! :Rofl It was a light rain for the first hour or so and the fish were loving it! Then the monsoon hit.....they didn't love that so much!!! Took me two more hours to get the three that I needed to finish off my limit. All fish were holding tight to brush and right on the bottom. Black and chartreuse Joker with a 1/16th red head was the ticket today. The quality was a lot better than they have been in the last couple of weeks. Good sign I think?
Here are a couple of the better ones.

Fish heard we were in the area. They stopped biting just to be on the safe side. My apologies to all Central Arkansas fishermen, especially those in the tournament.

Rainy days and thumpers always get me down.

Really nice job, Chris! I love to see a guy rewarded for going against the grain and braving the elements. Had planned to be out there too but can't shake a cold I picked up Saturday at Dardanelle. Thanks for the post and the photos. :ThumbsUp
