    Default Durn folks need driving lessons !


    The wind was bad enough, bite was slower. But worst was all the boats who would slow to 1/2 throtle with bow in the air and/or folks sitting on the bow. I thought we made a wrong turn in to the gulf of Mexico. Why can't folks run by up on plane or slow down enough not to plow the water washing everyone on the bank?
    But today was very slow and size was not good either. We managed our limits but it was one of the worst days this year on the lake. I hope since this is the 1st of the month it does'nt stay like this.

    Sorry to hear that Nimrod. I'm not sure why people do that either. I'm guessing they don't care about the waves, they're just slowing down enough to see what youre catching!

    Glad you found some good fish! Hope you did'nt get crowded too bad! Some folks can't stand to see fish caught and not try to close in over here.

    I went today and found someone had marked with a jug some bamboo that I had dumped. I appreciate them being so kind as to help me out and put a marker so I can get on my structure faster. Wind was turrrrribbble.

    They didn't know you had a new gps so they were just helping you out.

    I've had the same thing happen with some of the FFA condos.

    Hey RCC- was it out from Deckleman or the ones in the Dam cove? I know that those I put out have been found.

    It's a small lake and they'll all be found, but they don't need to be flagged where everyone will fish them. Dumbest thing I ever did was throw a maker in while dumping brush on about a 20 deg day. I had already dumped one load and rolled up the marker and the string had frozen. The second stop the marker sank and I went ahead and dumped anyway. I'm sure the string unthawed and the marker unrolled. When I went back a couple weeks later there were multiple boats on it.
