What Rain- 1/24/12 Report

[Jhua]

Cameron and I launched really early and headed up towards Hershey. We wanted to be in and out before the rain came (which it never did). Started at a drain and pulled out a very warm 16 in trout and a flounder. No more hits so we headed up even further. Found a good drop-off and started working the hackberry. Cameron was using a white 1/4th jighead while I was using the grey 1/8th. We have a friendly competition going on and I was getting smoked early on. He quickly pulled out two trouts around 17 inches and I couldn't get a hit. Then he pulled out a slot red around 25. By this time I was frustrated! Switched over the the 1/4th weight and started getting hits. I then pulled out a rat and a slot. I figured though that the fish were keying in on the white jig head that Cameron had. So I switched over to the bone/chartreuse TTF TK. Cameron pulled up a nice 17 inch flatty as we approached another drain as well as a potato chip. By now, he had two slams (two slots, two trouts, two flounders). On our last stop, he had a hit and missed and I tossed my TK towards a fallen tree. Two jigs, *THUMP*, and off the fish went. To my surprise, it was a healthy looking largemouth bass. After a few pictures, and a release, I made one more cast and pulled up a 16 inch trout. Peculiar to say the least but am totally stoked! I haven't caught a largemouth in a while. I'll let Cameron post the pics.

...."Jhua"....there is a place locally where you can "grand slam" everything mentioned and even include the bass as well as everything else you might want to hook up with.

Under the right conditions- yep

I'm on the fence. Didn't pre-fish the boundries like I wanted and I don't have a partner. I don't want to go in a tourny half-@#$ ya know? I will probably use the money for raffle tickets if I don't fish it.
