met Billie at park @6;45 blasted off and first stop I caught 2 on carolina rig /black lizard browse around a bit and keeping an eye on weather . Looks like lots of rain back behind camp dixie and up river so we head downriver and only to run into rain again heading up river , so we swing a left into wolftever and get under the bridge just in time before the downpour and storm !!! A total whiteout ! couldn't see anything . looks like we are going to be there for awhile so we both pick up a rod and keep on fishing . Billie throwing a jig and i'm throwing a white jigging spoon . I catch a good catfish and its still a whiteout . We stay until rain quits and safe to come out Both of us still dry as a bone , not so for a few other boats that didn't get under bridge in time , anyway we head out to next spot . Its close to 10 p.m. and we try spinnerbaits . No luck . We thought the rain cooled the water down enough that they may come up shallow and we downsized to smaller bait , a craw texas rigged and bingo !!! That was the ticket for the next 30 bass we caught in 2 hours .
, from 2lbs to a big girl Billie caught pushing 6 lbs !! A fun night, and then it was midnight, and Billie had to wk today ! Not many boats out when we put in, guess they didn't want to chance the weather but was a great night of catching for us !! Tight Lines to all
