cool pic right at the water!

I got caught in the same kind of rain storm on Friday at American Lake. The carpet in my boat is still drying out. I always thought Rapjohn is a fun little lake to fish. You usually don't catch many big ones, but you always seem to catch fish. And Rapjohn is a quiet lake, away from the hiway, and not a home one on its banks. A great place to enjoy what fishing is all about....a quiet place to relax and just enjoy the day. Though I fish weightess plastics alot on that lake, it can be a good spinnerbait lake. On one crazy day after the wind came up I switched to a spinnerbait and was fishing around the shoreline without much success. I was at the end of the lake to the right of the boatlaunch, with my boat edged up against the pads. I turned around and rifled a cast out into the middle of the lake to clear my level wind, and immediately got hammered when I began my retrieve. To make a long story short, for the next hour, without moving my boat, I caught 26 bass casting out into open water. One time 6 bass on 6 casts......Though I have tried the same trick many times since then on that lake, I have never had it happen again.....Go figure!!

i havent been to rapjohn in probably 10 years. from what you say rickyd i need to get out there. i want to catch some hawgs but sometimes its nice to get some strikes.
