Nofish/divorce

I use the screen name Noslab for a reason it happens and the name keeps me humble in preparation for the next time it does.
Noslab.

It's been pretty tough and humbling here lately too but it's starting to pick back up.

Hey, Turtlebait, if it will help you feel anybetter; you described my average day of crappie fishing. When I catch some, then I wonder what I did wrong. LOL.

With 20 to 30 mph wind not counting the gust I'm going thursday.

Had a friend fishing in the Newport area today,he called me at 1:30pm and said he was fixing to load the boat.Not even a bite,I talked him into trying something for me before he loaded his boat.I only have two floaters in my tackle box and do not like useing them,I'm a no floater watcher but know they have their place in catching crappie.I ask him to set the floater at 4in,make his cast and let it set and only let the wind work the float.At 3:30 he called back and said he had 15 and loading the boat he had supper.I said ok and ask at what depth did they take the jig,he said your not going to beleive it but caught them in 1 to 1 1/2 foot of water.For the last two days its bugged me bad as to why I didn't catch anything sunday,the old floater trick didn't even come to mind sunday.Then again I'm the type if you try putting a floater on my line I'll run 10 miles just to get away from you.
Like I told him sometimes crappie want chase nor fallow a lure nomatter how slow or fast it drops though the water depths.However they will take a jig thats doing nothing but hanging and looking them in the face and not going anywhere.
Maybe the reason for no fish in the cooler as of late they are swallower then we think...

More than a few times I've gone out on bad days, just going out to have something to do, and really mopped them up. Other days have looked really good, and didn't catch anything. One day in particular still haunts me; It was PERFECT! Couldn't go wrong! But didn't catch a fish. Guess that's why they don't call it 'catching'.

Thank you guys for all the support of us getting back together again,I turely miss them..\

Today I was going to try to make up with them but had second thoughts when I seen mr. white caps going up river dressed in has fancy whites.I knew if I tried messen with mr white caps today he'd splash water in my face I'm a lover not a fighter.Besides it want hurt them to suffer a little more like I have the last few days.

I know other people have no catch days but thats not me,ask around,at any time if someone wanted a mess,no problem.Bill Dance has nothing over me other then a tv show,I can trip fall stumble into fish like he does.He was my hero until he showed me how to make them wt. more,now he's my super hero going to great lenghts showing where to store extra wts.
Kidding aside,,had another friend call today,floater 4/6in.,in swallow water,farm lake off the bank,from 3:30pm to dark,24.

I cann't even catch a green carp anymore,I think tho when he seen me setting in the boat it scared him so bad he make a run for it to get away,he yellow.
Found out friday the reason I wasn't catching any crappie,they having special meetings at the boat ramp.I caught 2 small crappie,2 small bream and the yellow carp friday and the crappie were scared of me.The first one I caught he was just a shaking and a shaking saying please don't eat me Pleasssse don't eat me.I didn't think nothing of it until I caught the second one and he too was just a shaking and a shaking as tho scared to death of me.I said I'm not going to eat you little one and why are you so scared of me.He said at the special meeting at the ramp this morning they was showing a picture of me eating his grandma and grandpa and said you'd eat us too,don't bite his hook.I'm sure glad the bream didn't having nothing to say b/c It looks as tho I'm not going catch any crappie this year and maybe a few yellow carp.
