bait4me Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 We are having heavy rains and tornado's in nebraska have had a few touch down about 45 miles from my house. They are expecting 2"inches of rain or more. I am going to a 350 acre lake on saturday that has some flooded timber and 3 islands not much cover and no drop offs to be found except for at the dam. It is 16ft deep at full pool but it will be up if we get 2" of rain. I dont know what to throw after a large rain like this. Before I found out it was going to rain I was going to hit up the creek channel with DT-10's and topwater the first few hours but I dont know if that will still work. I dont know if I should fish slow or keep to the cranking idea. The advise would be great. Thanks Quote
Fishin247365 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Not knowing alot more specifics about the water, I'd have a buzzbait, chatter style bait, and jig with rattles with a large trailer tied on. We got a lot of rain around SC NE last couple weeks and the water we fished last weekend was muddy. I caught a bunch of post spawn fish sunday with jigs with full size brush hog as trailers. Also with it as windy as it was last weekend, I through a spinnerbait a bunch and picked up a bunch of shorter fish. Chuck a spinnerbaiit or chatterbait and buzzbait till you locate some fish, then slow way down when you throw your jig or large profiled plastics. Good luck! Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 If it were me, I would be flipping and pitching that brush hog into the back water that they normally couldn't get to i.e. behind flooded brush tree trunks and laydowns. Quote

We will just have to see if it holds until Saturday afternoon. Quote
wisturkeyhunter Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Hard to go wrong with soft plastics any time. Same could be said for spinnerbaits. Quote
