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.

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!
