We decided to spend a few hours on the Chick in anticipation of the rains moving in late Friday night. Headed to a productive area from last week, and nada...nothing. Saw Earl fishing the Friday night tourney and went the other way. Finally headed to a second spot, where we fished for about 40 minutes and all of a sudden the skies opened up. We did the only thing we could a the time and pulled into a boat slip, where we sat for an hour before it finally slacked up enough to make a run for the ramp. Seems like for the past few weeks every time we go fish we end up hiding out in a boat slip. In 2.5 hours of fishing we produced one measly 2 pound meanmouth on a texas rig worm in 12 feet of water on a rip rap bank. </p>

Please be careful on the water thistime of year. We got caught off guard as we were expecting some thunderbefore the hard rains hit, butwere not afforded the luxury. It was raining so hard you could not see 5 foot in front of you. </p>

Took my boys out for a few hours in the afternoon Friday. My 8 yr old caught his first smallmouth and on an ultra lite rod! Couldn’t be happier! My 15 yr old caught one LM on TX rig and I caught a couple on TX rig as well. Broke off on something big, but for my sanity we’ll call it a drum. Thanks for the report.
