    Default Killed em' today!!!


    Haha i'm lying, I got SKUNKED!! Lol, I figured they would have a serious case of the lockjaw today. I mainly went out to add a bit more structure to the lake, cause Conway needs it ya know! So after nearly capsizing from the four foot rollers,I thought it would be a good idea to try to jig a few up. I went from one end of the lake to the other jigging docks, trees, and stumps. Came up with nothing! Well, at least I tried.

    Yeah, the Weather Channel was showing a 5mph wind. Haha, it was more like 50.

    I feel your pain I was out on the water today myself and I too went forth to sink structure. I had about the same luck course I didn't fish the whole lake all day either I guess I knew better. Where I was at today there are a few fish to be had but they are not to be had this time of the year, Spring and Summer are the times to catch em where I was today. I do miss the good crappie waters though where it doesn't matter if you can brave the elements your going to catch fish, this lake I was on today isn't one of those lakes, not enough fish for that. So you didn't sink and brush??? I sank 7 piles today, had one pile break off and go down without a rock so i'm sure it will washout and had another big cedar top lose it's rock luckily it floated til I could go so shore and score another rock to sink it. I had some water bottles I use to tie in the top where they will stand up so I thought maybe I could fill one with water and the weight would sink the top....not hardly that doesn't work. Then there was the cold wind that I think got up even more at dark as I was trying to sink my last 2 piles, it was a miserable day out there on my end too.

    I was able to sink a few stake beds, but I had about the same luck as you. Its not easy to maneuver around those things in a little flat bottom, especially with the wind whipping like crazy. It got a little hairy for a minute. The concrete didnt set properly in one of my buckets, so when it hit the bottom all the wood slats came floating back up! Lol, next time I sink brush the wind will be below hurricane levels! :rofl

    I've had structure dropping incidents, usually involving not enough weight. The 2 worst were a 5 gallon bucket of concrete with a zillon 15 foot pieces of boo and it floated with about 5 feet still sticking out of the water. The other was a stake bed with 2 concrete blocks not sinking.
