Thunderstorms, crappie, and Rebel crankbaits

["G"]

Hook one and his son Will and I drove the three hour drive down to Okatibbee near Meridian in MS this morning. When we arrived we met up with ScottV and Scott took Will On his boat and Hook One and I went in mine. We were pulling and pushing crankbaits at the same time. Pulling six rods on the back of the boat and pushing two rods with three oz. weights on the front. We were trying out the Crappie Crank-R's by Rebel. They are some great crankbaits as they have fantastic colors and run true right out of the package.

Had a small thunderboomer pop up first thing this morning and we rode it out catching fish all the while. The Rebels in Tail Light and Fire Fly colors worked great. The rain and wind finally let up and we thought we were good to go. Put on a pink Rebel and started catching fish again. Caught a lot of dinks and even some catfish on the cranks. WE caught some keepers as well Then another thunder cloud moved in and it started raining big time......we packed up our gear and went back to the ramp to load the boats up. We had 15 keepers, we got wet twice, we had fun, and can't wait to do it again.

Very nice G! Glad you didnt get hit by some lighting. Metal boat with a bunch of poles hangin everywhere sounds dangerous

That was my boat in the rain before we got smart and put the Sportsbrella up to keep the rain off of us.
