Thread: A buck rub day

Thank you, sir. I did learn a lot. A WHOLE lot.

And.........I did catch somewhat bigger fish the day before, neener neener! I just caught only 6 of 'em (5 over my limit) with my old, slow methods. All that we caught fit in about the same size ziplock that those six did!!! But you heard me say over and over......"the small ones taste JUST like crappie"!!! And they do. Maybe better. Yeah, we probably shoulda thrown most of 'em back, I admit. But Mama sure does like to eat crappie!

And I was serious about you giving electronics lessons. Most of "us" just have depthfinders. I have a Lowrance LMS-337 on the transom/console, and a Humminbird 768 on the trolling motor. The Lowrance will do multiple things, but only one at a time. I don't even know all that it will do. I imagine that's close to what most folks have, and comparing that setup to yours is like comparing a bicycle to the space shuttle!

The technology has exploded (with the price also!) and watching you using that unit had me scratching my head a lot of the time. But I do see how all that massive info can fit together and provide amazing amounts of useful data. And you know how to use it well, and go through it fast. If I were to spend what a Gen2 HDS12 or an Onix 10 cost, I'd dang sure want a detailed, hands-on training class somewhere, and I'd pay for it, and I bet others would too. I saw how much you enjoy just cruising and marking and looking.........you could do that and charge for 'training' and do a GREAT service. I can't afford that full type of setup (now) but they are being sold, and you're good at it, and you could make some money and do a service too. You really ought to think about it.

Again, I want to thank you for the trip, and as I said.......I've spent 40 years fishing for crappie one way only........and now I see there are at least five different ways, and the fish are not always where I've been fishing for them. I have much to mull over!!!

(You COULDA trimmed that last pic to not show my face, btw)!!!

OH!! I almost forgot! NICE HAT, DUDE!!!!

Looks like you found some good "eaters" J.W.! Good job.

STAY OFFA MY DINK HOLE!!!!! And Bill, you UGLY son!!

What matters is that yall had a good day fishing together, the fish were just a little icing on the cake. Looks like yall had fun!!!!

We all shine at sumpin, C...............least I got hair.

Sounds like y'all had a great trip!!

Hey nice hat bill lol. Yea they were eaters by Bills standards, they had a head and a tail lmbo. I let him keep whatever he wanted too but next time we are gonna step up his standards he hehehe. You are right I just love being on the water. Catching is secondary to me and I can have just as much fun watching someone catch a fish too. Bill also learned about the shade of my sportbrella. Man what a difference it can make on them hit summer days! As far as the electronics stuff goes I don't mind helping folks out just never thought about charging for that lol. I find most folks don't know how to use what they do have and that baffles me!

Sounds like a great day!
