Well, my prediction for fishing today paid off. I've been fishing a small local lake for the past few weekends trying to develop a pattern. My strategy was that the rain we've been having would warm the water enough to put them into a pre-spawn move. I was also thinking they would be holding in tight to some beds of vegetation. I was right on the money today. I fished for a couple of hours this afternoon and picked up a 4 pounder and a 1-1/2 pounder. Both were on a Texas rigged purple lizard. Just thought I would share my new learning experience with those who might care.
