Thread: 6-25-report

I had the pleasure this morning of taking out a friend from work,John. His girlfriend was outta town,so he and her son LJ met me at the lake just after 7.After joking with LJ a bit about a pink rod I had for him to use but forgot it,we were on the lake looking for some suspended fish,and we marked a few. The method for today was longlining with 1/16 oz sliders, with 5 different colors for the fish to choose from. No one color seemed best,except for bubblegum/ chartreuse ,it caught the two best fish of the day on LJ's brand new rod.tried to pull.9-1.0 but the wind made it tough . Water temp was 82 by my sonar. Most all fish caught about 10 down in 20+ fow,,LJ,did all the catching this morning except mabey three or four.I told him to keep count cause I charged a penny a fish,close to the end of the trip we had 48 on the counter. I asked if he had a fifty cent piece and he said yes, I told him I was gonna fish till dark if I had to to be able to get that 50 cent piece, so we made another pull to try to get fifty,got 50 and headed to the landing. Probally about 50% ratio of keeper size vs undersized . LJ golfs ,plays baseball and a pretty dang good fisherman also,by the end of the trip he was pretty good going under and over keeping lines from getting crossed. The Lord blessed us with a great morning on the water .Here's a " live action " shot of LJ. John n LJ . And LJ s personal best crappie 13 1/2" ,with a pretty big smile to boot !!! date should be 6-25

I've gotta get back down to Cane Creek, you seem to have that rigged.
Thanks for the great report and pictures.
