Well when it's nice on the weekend you have my cell let me know the night before and I'll make the trip...:D

Yes, it is....do you know what it's like to have them NOT cooperate?

We all see the slabs you continually rip out of the water, it's the hat man, it's the hat!!! :D

Thanks, MM

I took a little guidance from JT before heading out at 6 p.m. onto Beaver today in a buddies boat....we went around Hickory shallows (3 to 8 feet deep in about 4 to 9 feet of water) and TORE THEM UP!!! I was so pumped when I dropped a minnow under bobber stopper, went to rig up my jig pole, and BOOM....I was 15 fish into my 2 hr. rampage when I FINALLY tied on the jig....black/chtrse curltail...caught another 14 with the jig until we ran out of daylight...FINALLY a freezer with some fish in it!!! :D

We hit the water at 6 p.m. - left the water at 8 p.m. - all in all 14 out of the 29 kept....nothing over 12" but all about 10.5-11" one of them was a FATTY, almost 1.75 lbs...anyways, sorry for the no pics once again, this will be my last post...29 in 1.5 hrs total....that's 1 every 3 minutes....I got the fever again, and with no broken ankle or broken hip I'll be posting several times in the near future. Just wanted to update you all on my trip....fishing on BEAVER is hot, 14 boats leaving all at the same time, tons of stripers, whites, catfish, and crappie being caught in stationary locations....MM

Heres a picture from today from the same area you were fishing Caleb! We caught 22 keepers in 4 hours and threw another couple dozen or so back not to mention dozens of whites!

Alright Jason, nice total haul man...I can only imagine how much damage you and I would do in about 6 hrs straight in there as hot as it is right now...I am considering taking a bucket of minnows and my new mitchell reel and casting out into the 3-6 ft. range from all around the bank.....sounds like a plan to me.....I love catching those really black fish, they look neat under the water.
Your customers looked WORN OUT man....were those whites devouring the spoons....? I caught a couple on the way in last night that I didn't mention in my thread....but I caught them off a little cleo....not sure if you have any of those? they work really well in my past experiences.....good luck man, you have a night trip tonight? MM

Good grief Jason, what a stringer of fish man...I am liking the fact that with all these fish being pulled out of there you can only imagine the bites will get more and more agressive....right? I'm so pumped, you think they will hold all the way up until Sat. morning? Guess we'll see, I might have to hit a few of my condos on the way Sat. morning....can't wait man! Once again, thanks for the update, keep tearing them up, good luck on your Fishing Hawg Country filming tomorrow...I'm sure they'll be plenty impressed! Later, MM
