    Default Me and the Man


    Met up with the man at breakfast time for the mosquitos. Launched the boat under watchful eye of Mister Alligator. After seeing we were doing it correctly he eased himself out of sight into the dark water. Wind was calm to start with and we put 4 in the cooler. I had three on a bait called a Bleu Cheese that Harold McGhee introduced me to about three years ago. We had caught a lot of fish on that bait. Anyhoo the Man started searching his box for one he had, to no avail. We old guys tend not to remember where we put stuff and find it later when we no longer need it. After about 1.5 hours the wind was makeing itself known by blowing us around and makeing boat control difficult. We had run into a lull in catching so the Man went looking through his box again and found a feather jig of the same collors as the Bleu Cheese, that was misplaced from some earlier time only to be discovered this morning. Anyway he tied it on wth a cappie nibble and started catching all kinds of bass and crappie. That gator was back at the ramp when we got back and I think he was looking for the Man's jig. Anyway we kept 10 and had great day thanks to the Man

    Hey Yelim,

    Another fine day, even though I couldn't find that jig you gave me ??

    The wind was challenging, and my TM battery was getting on the low side, or I think we would have put more in the boat. Even though I don't care for the wind in my tin boat, I think it turned on the fish! Was thinking of getting a Everstart Battery from Walmart, online info says, they don't have the group 27 or 29 in stock.

    All in all it was a fine day my friend, we will do it again soon!
    What time is it? IT'S CRAPPIE TIME!

    I have moved over to Delco Voyger batteries - 100% guarantee for 1 1/2 yrs vs
    Walmart 1 yr - prices are almost identical
    They seem to charge out slightly faster and hold their charge a little better
    through a full day.(9 - 9.5 hrs)
    Blue cheese is still one of best Roadrunner spinners in stained water i have ever
    found. Have made several like it and they are work.

    Good report and pictures to back it up...............
    Curious, you Lakeland Spec chases still working the Tenoroc strip pits?
