In Before the Downpour

Launched at the boat ramp at 8am to overcast skies, calm winds and the start of the incoming tide. Trolled down just past the boat docks to get to a creek mouth to work some top water on the shoreline. Threw a Yozuri walk the dog with no action. Saw some action on the top by the grasses and worked the grassy area but still nothing.

Trolled back through "Area 41" with still no hits.  Trolled back and worked the boat docks with a Rapala top water plug.  No hits on this side either.  It was nearing 840 and would have to start heading back to the ramp.  Trolled back and removed the skunk with a nice fighting 15 1/2" spec.

Made another pass and quickly hooked up with a larger 19" spec.
Headed to the ramp and off to work.

As soon as I rinsed off the reels and yak - the skies opened for 10 minutes of heavy rain. Perfect timing. That would have been cold getting hit with this rain while on the river.
