    Default Just got back


    We just pulled in last night from Mississippi. I can some it up in two words Giant Crappie. The lake we were fishing is in a pre spawn mood. ( 2 tourneys coming up will keep it disclosed for now. Pm me for info ) First day was a little slow but we were only on the water for a few hours and did more scouting than fishing. We had two boats with us. One was 14' john with only trolling motor and sculling paddle. And our regular lake boat set up for spider rigging and long lining jigs or pulling mini boards. For numbers long lining out produced the second day. The third day spider rigging was the way to go for big fish When it slowed up midday The boys in the Jon boat were starting to catch fish shallow when that sun started to get high in the sky. The key on the shallow bite was slow and slower. Use your paddle most of the time to go tree to tree. This cold front will slow the bite down till weeks end about Friday then look for it to pick back up.. Enjoy

    I'll be there in a few days myself..... Can't beat catching those big fish rigging and then going in the trees for some hand to hand combat to break up the day! Nice fish!

    When you go in for hand to hand combat. Be sure to keep your hand above the waterline when you're using you paddle or it mite come up missing. We left are buddy to watch are hole till we get back. He was in the sun bathing mood when we left him..lol

    Heading there in an hour! More reports to come!
    If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.:rolleyes:
