Bass in The rain

[live bait]

When I retired I thought that from now on there would be no reason to fish in the rain, but sometimes time & tide are a draw that can't be suppressed. I looked at the tide tables & thought that it would be foolish to not go to Plum Gut, when I had nothing else to do, even though rain was in the forcast. Heading to the launch ramp I hoped for the rain to hold off at least until I could get the boat floating & get my rain gear on, strange on a day with little or no wind there were no other trailers in the parking lot. Got squared away & under way & the skys opened up while headind east. The rain was on & off, mostly on, & a short bas ate my bucktail, a few drifts later another short released, then hooked another fish that felt better & a 33" bass went into the box. Thats when that little voice in my head said "hey stupid, time to go". Headed back to the ramp & still no other trucks with empty trailers. A good, but wet morning.

I just might see you there tomorrow if you go again, John. Planning to work the late morning stage of the tide. Swing by and say hello if you go.
