Fished an incoming rainstorm. (Yay! Rain!)

I was just about to get skunked.  I got one on the dropshot but it felt like pure luck. My buddy started in with the jerk bait. He got two for two!  I grabbed my jerk bait setup and started casting and casting and casting…….  Nothing

 

he would keep catching. He loaned me a Vision110jr in the same color and I got one. I slooooowwwwed it way down. I would cast it as far as a dared (risking the bird nest) and jerk it hard to get it to dive.  Then full stop.  15-30 second pause, then two gentle jerks and pick up the slack…and pause.  They would smash it on the long pause!  It was so exciting sitting still waiting/hoping for a bite. 
 

I tie on my own goldish- color vision 110 for the added weight so I could cast further and hit a 2lb in the rain!   
 

i need to buy one the same color as his, it was the hot pattern by a long shot. 
 

I gave him $25 to find me one at his shop in the city.  Fingers crossed.

Finally! I got bit on the jerk bait.

 

Did it hurt?  ?                        jj

Congrats!  Feels good doesn't it.

I dont fish them much .   I can count three times when I used them and caught fish . Once bass were hitting cranks closed mouthed so I switched to a jerk and started hooking up . Last year in Dec I caught them around brush piles .  Caught them in clear Bull Shoals lake this past spring .
