OK...Fishin in the rain...Left the house at 5 am & it poured all the way to the lake...Fished with friend Lloyd today & it rained off and on until we left around 3 pm. We pulled the boat out just as they were issuing a flash flood warning...man it was raining hard. Everything soaked...but enough complaining...we did manage 6 bass & 204 Sunfish today...all caught on various color Gulp Alive minnows. Gils are becoming active in more and more spots. Did not see TomRom on the lake today...guess he decided to sleep in....

Yep Steve. I got up at 4:30 and looked at the radar. It looked like there was going to be some real toad stranglers according to the radar and I guess they were right. Apparently Fayette got hammered more than here in Katy. But it got hammered here as well. Im going this week but now with other commitments it will have to be Thursday. Im sure the lake will be a zoo this weekend.

As always solid post and solid fish. Good job guys under some very tough conditions.



Side Note: Long-range forecast for next week is saying no rain! We can use a break!

Super post as always Vogey. Good job Guys.



Side Note: Simply "Hard Core" !

Y'all did well enough that I could almost swear y'all were doing it to spite the rain! Great work out there

Great post Vogey! I dont think the fish mind if it rains or not. Yall caught some nice gillz!

Yesenia...I don't think the fish even know it's raining.
Lonestar...passed on fishing last week due to rain...this week you are 100% right...determined to go in spite...to spite...
Curtis...As the thunder & lightening started surrounding us around 3 pm, hardcore headed for the truck like a dog with his tail between his legs...
Tom...good luck on Thursday
Chuck...did Fred talk you into trying some Gulp Alives when you guys went ?

Fred used worms that trip. You need to make another trip there. The BIG ONES are biting!



Side Note: You were right about the Bluegill in my thread! His name was Charlie and he said he knows you quite well.

Awesome fish and pics Vogey especially the rain pic

Great pics and nice fish count. I have been playing with gulp alive minnows more and more with good results. Still always take a box of live worms just in case.

Thanks Leo...that rain caught us b4 we could make it to the ramp.
Big Joe...I weened myself off of the worms slowly as well...probably haven't used them in over a year now except when Doc occasionally makes me

Yes, I will be bringing some worms Tuesday. And maggots.

..... and some Gulp Alive Minnows. The full Perch Cafe menu !

I went today. Bass were really up in the reeds so I only gave them a couple of hours of my time. After putting away the bass gear I went and found some bluegill that were a lot easier to make to hit. Caught the [censored] out of them. It did not seem what I threw at them they hit it. Bite lasted for hours. If you go the docks are roped off because the are only a inch or two above the water.

Nice Fayette update. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome post. Good job Vogey,
