Well, me, my wife, and our daughter hit the river this afternoon after I got off work. We knew it was supposed to rain so we didn't plan on making it an all nighter. Rain dont bother me but they get scared. Anyways we went to schmidt first and it was closed. they are putting in some kind of hiking trail. So we went to public landing downtown and it was closed due to a concert or something. So we went to Riverside ramp, and it was closed for some stupid reason, I don't know why. So we went to Tanners. Got some bait and headed out. Long story short, river looked ok, dirty, but Ok, decently waves here and there, but OK. We had tons of the tap, tap, tap. Only 3 takers. Hit the cycle, 1 blue, 1 channel, and 1 flatty. No size to them. My wife got the biggest at just over 10 pounds(blue). I got the flathead and my daughter enjoyed catching the channel. Then as we were casting the rods out at a new spot.......BAM......just started pouring out of the middle of nowhere. I got drenched before I could get the rain gear on. Got back to the ramp, and Jigger had his boat beached and was sitting in his truck. Then he parked the truck and came back down. His wife told him the rain was going to pass, so he was headed back out. We only got to go out for about 2 or 2 1/2 hours before the storm. I imagine Jigger will do pretty good if the rain let up on him, because they were hitting just not committing real well. It seems right after a good rain they start hitting pretty good. Thats my experience anyways. I got pictures of the fish, but I can't figure out how to post them.
