any day fishing is gooooooooooood thanks for the report

Detail Man....How were you fishing? This is what my guys kept yesterday morning...I had them out from 7:30-noon .....

Trolling have not learned to push yet saw tons of fish just not holding our mouth right.

Gotcha....check your PM....That's all I've been doing is pulling..... let's talk about your set up with size. singles or doubles and speed.... They'll bite! I'd be glad to help you.

Thanks golf pro will give you a call. Saw your truck at the ramp, good looking set up. Me and the boys were in a old Lowe aluminum boat that my paw in law gave me before he passed away. I will run it until the bottom falls out means that much to me.

That's great! Keep the memories alive! Today is my dad's birthday. Taught me how to hunt and fish...fix stuff.... he passed suddenly at 61...never saw retirement..I was 19 years old at the time...out crappie fishing and they came to the lake and got me...he would have been 88 today. I still have some of his tools and old school camo I wear all the time!

I am trying to learn the long-lining technique myself.Any suggestions?

Get yourself a mentor that does it. go fish with them! ask tons and tons of questions!..I got 3-4 people into it recently and they love it! pushing can be slow, methodical, even boring at times..Long lining is 95% what I do when the water temps allow.

There are alot...I mean alot more variables in long lining...jig weight, line size, rod set up, speed, color choices.... I went to it a few years ago guiding...no bait, boat traffic is a minor issue...not having to be real still in the boat "kids fishing", making them BITE! on reaction sometimes without having to dangle a minnow in their face! not missing many fish...rod loads up...that fish is hooked!

It's not he best all the time, but I have been pushing bait...little success...go to pulling same area...BAM BAM BAM>>>fish in the boat!

I started out pushing...did it for years...started long lining....sure glad I did!
