Thread: Coosa River schoolin

Lowe175 invited my son and I down to the river to show us how to properly shoot docks. He conducted a fishing clinic. He said it was a bad day, but we brought home 25 keepers and he probably caught 30 or more shorts. I thought it was a great day. I did contribute to the fish total in the livewell, I caught ONE keeper.

My son finally caught 2 short fish late in the day and I caught a total of 3 with 2 being short. I watched Lowe175 fish a while and I'm still not quite sure how he was determining he was getting a bite, but danged if he didn't have a fish most every time he set the hook. He said he didn't feel most of the bites but something just didn't feel right a lot of times and WHAM, fish on. I couldn't get a hook set when I did feel a bite and "The Force" must not be with me on reading fishing line, because I clearly suck at that, BUT anything worth doing is worth working for and he said he's been crappie fishing all his life, SO I am still determined to learn how to catch these fish, moreso after the schooling that I got today.

Thanks again Glenn for your hospitality, eagerness to teach others and a great trip. My son and I are very greatful for our afternoon in your company! And that's a sweet Stratos you've got!

I already made this post once, from my phone with a picture attached but something must have happened in the posting process, because it apparently didn't show up. I'll try to post the picture again since I'm posting the thread again.
