Rich Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Headed out today knowing full well what we were about to fish in. It was POURING rain, it couldn't have possibly been raining any harder. Backing up to the launch we couldn't see out the windshield of the truck. Soaked the second the doors were open. BAM! The boat was in the water and we were fishing. There was wind, tons of rain and thunder, some lightning... we pounded the lake to death and caught a lot of small bass. One encounter with a maybe 3.5lber on a buzzbait and a small pike but no huge fish to be in awe of today. As luck would have it the only time it wasn't raining that I caught a bass was when I caught my smallest of the day so that was the only pic I got. Buddy Sean got a little better one pic'd. Spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and grubs were the weapons of choice. I can't believe anyone would sit inside looking out at that rain coming down. That makes me run to the lake! And to end it.. the evening turned out pretty nice actually. A good foot of water after 20 min of rain in the bottom of the Bass Hound I did catch some better ones than THIS, lol in the heavy rain though so I didn't want to get the camera out Sean's 2 pounder which was probably the big fish of the day A decent sunset over the lake So worn out and hungry after... demolished a Wendy's classic triple combo and a spicy chicken on the side! lol Awesome afternoon on the water. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADB Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm more impressed with your Wendy's meal, than with your report, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike the Pike Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm more impressed with your Wendy's meal, than with your report, actually. The after fishing foods feast are often part of Rich's reports . Who's boat was that Rich ?Do you still have the 14ft tinny? A little rain never hurt anyone I hope you were not out with heavy lightning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 That's my other boat MTP.. 9' "Bass Hound". And yes the Filth Hound is still alive and well. Actually I got a trailer for it now. Just a little tougher to launch the aluminum than the bass hound... and the 14 footer isn't really necessary for the lake we were fishing (really more of a pond). There was some lightning but nothing too bad. And I'm known for demolishing two Classic triple combos in a sitting! LOL I was takin' it easy today!

Hey Rich.... what boat do you prefer for large ponds(Conservation type areas) and slower/smaller rivers ? thanks splashhopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC1OZ Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Solid fishing/eating! hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hey Rich.... what boat do you prefer for large ponds(Conservation type areas) and slower/smaller rivers ? thanks splashhopper I'd pretty much live and die in my 14 footer. I don't know if I'll ever "upgrade" to anything bigger. It handles everything pretty well .. since I'm not really a deep water trolling type of guy it works just great. If there's relatively easy access to the pond I'm fishing, I'd much rather throw the tinny in. However for those hard to reach places where you gotta carry or drag the boat quite a ways, the 9 footer is best. Actually thinking about getting a flat back canoe instead of the bass hound though. Or keeping all 3 boats. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I've got a 12 footer as a back up too.... I would never sell it. Easy to carry and it fits in the back of my truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
