Rain Day Bass

Recommended Posts

I decided to hit a small conservation area lake this morning about an hour or so from the Hammer. The rain was really coming down at dawn so I had to wait it out for a bit before I could venture out of my vehicle.

 

Once the rain slowed, I threw on the waders and started crawling around the shoreline in search of largemouth. Casting a rat through the lilly pads brought up nothing.

 

The weeds had really grown quickly with our early summer so I reached for my trusty floating Rapala, which I could work slowly over top of the weeds and through the weed troughs. Bang! This ol' girl hits.

 

She measured 17-inches and just about swallowed my lure, but it was easy to remove the hooks and send her on her way.

 

After dodging more rain and emptying my tackle vest, I couldn't coax another bass to come out and play. Sure beats working though!
