Son and I fished Timber Lake today. The drive took us an hour longer than normal because of the torrential downpour we ran into. We arrived onsite at about 7:30a and had to sit in the truck for another hour and a half while it continued to rain. By 9:15a the rain let up to a light sprinkle so we made our way on the water. By 10:00a the rain appeared to be gone and then at about 11:30a we got soaked for about 20 minutes before our morning trip was complete at 12p.
Despite the heavy rainfall, we managed to catch some fish. We caught roughly 12-14 fish, largest LMB going for just over 4 lbs and smallest was less than 3 inches long, that was the only cull fish. My son caught a couple bluegill and a few nice bass. I had a pretty good day with the larger fish and probably 7 or 8 ranging from 1.5 lb to 4+ with most of those over 3 lbs.
The fish wanted my swimbait today, they just could not resist it. Also fooled a couple with the chugger. My son boated a 3 lber on a crank and had some fun with a road runner.
What didn't work: Spinners, frogs, jigs, brush hogs, Jackall-Pompadour (my son is determined to catch one on that thing)

Billy don't fret buddy, my son does the exact same thing. I call it force feeding bass. But once he gets in his head he wants to catch a fish on a certain bait, he does. Hard headed. He probably gets that from his momma, it couldn't be from me.
