Was over doing some scouting today for a tournament I've got coming up. Weather was windy and called for rain.
I got both.
It was a slow start with only a 2lb and a dink to show for the first 2 hours of looking. I moved into a shallow flat that had some reeds and threw my trusty Rapala. High stuck a fish and when I finally caught up to it I realized it was a nice one. I backed off my drag and it made a pretty good run before I netted it.
If this was the tournament it would have got off. :grin But of course that wasn't going to happen.
Thinking I found something I messed around there long enough to both not catch anything else and get pounded by a rainstorm. I had to run out of there through giant stingy rain as Forest would say. :grin
I finally ran out of the rain and decided to stop at another area across the lake. I found a calm area and picked up the Rapala again. Pow ! 4th cast I hook another good bass.!
This would not happen if money was on the line. :banghead I landed it.
There was some shad in this area and small bass were busting them pretty good. I hooked a couple of keepers but they came unbuttoned and landed a few dinks. I hope they stay put and no one finds them. :wink
Well , we'll see what tourney time holds. Water temp was 85 .

That is if the doctor lets me. Getting some skin cancer removed from my nose tomorrow . Hope they don't take too much.
And best wishes for your health.

Political correctness is a mental disease that can put you in slavery. The only cure is to turn on the brain.
I'm not afraid of Coronavirus but I'm scared by the paranoid Pandement Army that have put all of us under the sanitary naz**m.

:grin You'll know who I am because I'll have a big bandage on my face and since you'll be following me all around the lake it will be easy to spot. :blowkiss
is the bandage on your ****
