Now that high tides are after sunset and just after sunrise, I decided to hit Twin Brooks Park Sunday. Arrived around 3:15pm. With the time I had I decided to fish the main pond and the larger pond mostly. I made my way around the main pond first. Water levels were very low. Tried throwing a variety of lures. Was surprised to not see any bass or yellow perch follow the silver shad Jointed Shad Rap JSR-4 in deeper areas near weeds. The only lure that had a few fish slowly follow was a custom painted red tiger Jointed J-7 as I did a slow retrieve with constant twitching under the surface, making the lure do a lot of distressed baitfish kicking. Didn't have any swirls or light taps on a frog Baby Torpedo. Later I made it over to the usual spots at the larger pond. Played with the JSR-4 in some deeper areas but never had a hit or followers. Did a slow steady retrieve with the Baby Torpedo in my usual topwater spots but only had `1 small tap. Threw a perch Rebel Pop-R in the November hot spot and one of the topwater areas resulting in what seemed to be a pickerel hit the lure twice on back to back retrieves in my November hot spot. Hit the road just after 6pm

One of my offices is down the street from Cabela's so I often venture there for lunch and browse quickly as well ( :lol: ), and I noticed a stand alone rack of them. I know you use Rapala's a good amount and was curious of your opinion. I use Shad Raps and Husky Jerks a good amount so I was curious to see how these are. Belows a link to them http://usa.rapala.com/scatter-rap/
