Rain was in the forecast, work was caught up, so, well- you know.



This was the only good 'un. Caught it (and the rest of them) on a frog around the pads, using my Dobyns 735 with 65# braid. I lost a four-something right before this one, but the rest of them stayed stuck. I never got a bite on a buzzbait, crankbait, or a worm. And I threw the buzzbait a LOT.

It was really tough fishin'. While it rained, which was most of the time, I just could not get bit. I finished with four keepers and one dink for four and-a-half hours.

I was thinkin', like I do- I wonder when it's raining, how loud is that to fish in the lily pads? It's sho-nuff loud to ME. I think that maybe it messes 'em up some. I've had some pretty good days fishin' pads in the rain, but not very HARD rain, if you get my drift.

Anyway, there ya go.

Bass boat= public water.

It was sad. Apparently I followed a bunch of other guys yesterday. Frog tracks thru the slop were EVERYWHERE. They were all leavin' or had left when I got there. "They just ain't bitin'" is all I heard. What a shame.

So I just fished where nobody else had. Go figure.

What a chunk Dale!

It was a pretty, ugly kind of fish. It would have weighed heavy if it had a belly. Like me. Maybe next time.

Nice catch Dale. Looks like it has an old scar near it's hind end.
