Spent a 3 hours at a local pond today after 3 days of rain. Threw spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, squarebill cranks and swim jigs. Caught only 1 fish on a Wacky Rig. Looking forward to warming weather and rising water temps, hopefully soon!

I've been having good success the last couple of weeks throwing the Rapala BX Brat 03 in Tamale, Homer's Buddy and Hit Dang colors. There isn't a lot of structure in the local ponds I fish, the technic I've been using is: crank down to depth and pause for a second, crank 3-5 times and pause, hold the rod tip low and pointed directly at the bait. All of the bites have occurred on the pause. I'm using a 7' Falcon Rods MH Lowrider, Abu Garcia Revo SX 7.3:1 and Sufix 40# 832 braid. The lure is tied directly to the braid, no leader. This causes the bait to run shallower than 3' and not dredge the bottom.

After some rain, we've had a couple of warmer sunny days in a row, the water is more stained than usual, so slowed the retrieve down. Each fish bit when the retrieve was paused.
