    Default Has this ever happened to you?


    I was at piney bay this morning. Just struggling!! Could not catch a fish to save my life. I am fishing along and there is a gentleman about 100 yds from me bringing them up like all get out. Nice fish. I just could not help myself anymore and I eased about 50 yds from him and asked that helpless question. " If you don't mind me asking what color are you using?" He said" You having trouble catching fish?" I said" yes sir". He said" Ease over here and I will tell you what I'm doing, I just limited out." So I ease on over and he tells me what to do and even went as far to give me a couple of the electric chicken baits he was using. Told me the depth, colors, showed me landmarks to go by. Now I'm talking fishing no more than 50-75 yards in a area. I watched him for at least 45 minutes killing them in THAT SPOT!! Wonderful fellow! He leaves and I fished for nearly two hours and didn't get so much as a bite. I changed depths, jigs and all that. Bout to pull my hair out!!!!

    Blue color jumpsuit and a straw hat in the winter. Fish catching, bad to the bone, dudes. I call em "The Blue Jumpsuit Mafia".

    You don't mess with those dudes. Everyone of em' be packing. I love the ones with the chihuahua in the boat with the attitude of Cujo.

    Weight line , speed, jig size , and boat control can change the depth your fishing greatly.
