Peckerwood Report - Aug. 29, 2009

[ShimmyShamrock]

Evening folks! Ran into MeatGetter, RLBobCat, and Rodney today, and I hear LRJoe1 was there too (sorry I missed ya!, but had to move to get out from the darn wind). And ran into CRAPHEAD on the water with his boys. Last I heard he landed 10, but probably went on to catch his limit later.

Anyhow, arrived at Red Barn at approximately 6:30 when MeatGetter himself runs over and introduces himself. Taking Stubby's last post about working the edge of the lillypads - I did and caught 2 immediately on a 1/16oz black/chart jig, but after fighting that darn wind for about 45mins I gave it up and headed for the poles. And *wham*, 2 whites immediately! More fighting the wind so I decide to go to the canals. I managed to find a honey-hole to catch 19 specs and 3 bream on steroids!

Peckerwood is down about 6inches but not enough to expose the stumps and FISH. I was still able to open all 40 horses to move about. And I have never seen so many crappie-fisherman working the lillypads in my life - THAT IS AWESOME!

Here are the pictures:

This is my cooler for a total of 23 Crappie and 3 bream:


Revised: Added this picture cuz the above did not look like 23 crappies. But here is another picture after I cleaned them:



This is MeatGetter and Rodney's Catch:
