Well Monday started off kinda cold wet and rainy...... Was sprinkling when I got there, but quickly started raining heavier, thought I'd try it a few minutes just to see if they were biting and wham strike after strilke on the fluke.......

Caught about 9 fish on it, including a nice channel cat, and used up my package of flukes.......  couldn't really find anything else in my tackle box they would hit, and it was starting to get real nice as far as conditions go...... it stopped raining altogether.....

Real cloudy, calm, and cool around 75 degrees, and I moved over to a shallow flat but still nothing.... found an old Rapala rattlin' rap as I thought with these conditions the bass might be in a chasing mode... they were.........

Granted most of the fish were small but they were sure slamming that lure......... caught 20 on this one lure....... went down to the lower end of the lake......... and hooked what felt like the Loch ness monster.....

stripped drag...... wish I would have had my baitcaster at the time, as I couldn't get her turned and she swam under some thick hydrilla and I couldn't get her out as I was bank fishing....  I'm not sure what I had but kinda figure it may have been another catfish......

The big bass of the day came on a Zoom finesse worm... around 3 lbs... this one hit so hard it nearly took the rod out of my hands....

So, you might go with some of your shallow runners if your having trouble catching fish....... most of the fish I caught on the Rapala were real small but it sure was fun..........

Small fish or not, it still sounds like a fun day. I went on Tuesday in the rain also and had a good day. Caught everything on a sinking minnow. Tried a shallow running crank but got nothing. Things are really gonna start popping now I hope after a kinda disappointing summer.

Bass Fear Me- glad you had a good trip.... water is really starting to clear in the pond....... skeered I may have to go back to mono from the braid I am now using.......

You're right, the water is nice and clear.  Has been most of the summer around here though.  The summer fishing was drab here but seems like it may start popping.  Hoping so anyway.
