Not sure how the rest of you folks out there are being effected by this early summer rain fest we are having here in Oklahoma, and maybe you're not.  Either way, any tips on catching rising water bass?  Now that the bass have more water to roam around in and it is a little darker in color what are the best ways to get their attention?  Any hints as far as baits, colors, and techniques would be appreciated.  Thanks everyone

hey i live in beggs just south of tulsa we have got a lot of rain that is washing out the nightcrawlers and frogs    last night i went out and used tube baits  a snag proof frog and  and dark colored trick worms to catch all my fish  i couldnt

buy a bite with anything else   my biggest was 7lb last night  it came on the snag proof frog   the fish were holding tight to cover and would not move  you had to put the baits right on them        

ps   i sent you a pm  a while back did you get it

Fished Bone Creek Lake up here yesterday from 9:00 AM to noon.  Water came up 6" in those three hours.  Caught fish on frogs over newly submerged vegitation and senkos up against the bank.  They had a forty boat tourney and looked like everyone was catching fish that was fishing shallow.

im down in texas, we gettin it too...im throwing worms and they are eatin them up.  My lake i throw 4 inch pumpkinseed crawls...bites every 5 to 10 casts when i go

went out today and killed them on a watermelon with red fleck trick worm.  Lots of dinks but the 6+ #er ended the day very nicely.  Didn't do well at all on the color that I normally use at this place but who knows, all that matters is I was lucky enough to have what they wanted.  Fishing was great!
