Thread: Well they both start with "C"

The crappie fishing has been okay but most of you know me and I'm spoiled rotten. Looking into just having a lot of fun when I'm off or maybe even with clients. What's ya'lls input and tips on summer catfishing? Thinking about offering some night trips if I can make it work consistently too.

Hey Darryl,

I think it would be great. It is a lot of fun to catch them hard pullin cat's. Crappies are not the only fish. Jerry was talkin about bream fishin.

May come down this Saturday. Would love to tie into some nice cat's.

Sorry I don't have much input for you Darryl. Those cats do pull really hard and I bet folks would pay good money to go drag em in the boat. Good luck buddy

Sounds like you may have a plan working, it may be hard for you to schedule in some sleep. Good luck with it if you decide to do it.

Darryl there isnt a thing wrong with pursuing the other C fish. I would just bait you up a couple of holes with some sour grain and get after em.

I still want to come over to Hammilton and nightstalk that spot under the 7 South bridge where the channel runs right up to the bank. I think we would knock em in the head right there

Come on out Doug and we'll go after them. Gooch I'd like to do that but we'd have to do it in a different boat than mine. I can't put my guide boat on the water at Hamilton. Better yet, Jerry and I are going to bait some spots up here on Greeson and I thinks it's time for a serious nightstalk here. I bet we can land us some nice cats.

Whats the deal with your boat and Lake Hamilton?

Umpteen years ago a Federal Judge deemed Lake Hamilton a Federal Navigable Waterway so the Coast Guard will have authority over the Duck Boats (tour guide boats) and the Bell of Hot Springs (dinner boat), both of which carry lots of passengers. The Coast Guard left us little fishing guides alone for years knowing that was the judge's intent. But now we have a new Lt.Comm. in charge of this region (a little man in a big uniform) and he is towing the line -- HARD. Now, if I or any other guide gets caught on Lake Hamilton without the Coast Guard approved Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels licence we will be fined and possibly have our boats impounded. The problem is further compounded by the fact that my boat is known on the lake and if I just take my family or some friends or neighbors fishing (not for hire) the Coast Guard will give me a ticket, impound my boat and then I will have to go to court to prove it wasn't for hire. Essentially, I have been run off the lake just because of a judge's ruling and a Coast Guard Lt.Commander's lack of common sense. The lake is not "navigable" nor is it a body of water that normally would require such licenses. We have decided not to pursue the licensing because of the extreme amount of time lost and cost to do so. GREESON'S BETTER ANYWAY. Anyone want to buy a condo on the lake?

Hey Buddy
Been missing you on here. What about them stripers?? I am constantly being asked if I know a dependable striper guide. I see post on crappie.com as well asking about striper guides.
You would be doing everybody a favor by thinning them out too.

Darryl,

I have been trying to convince my family to change our annual family camping trip to greeson, & my uncle's love to trotline for catfish. All I need to hear now is that the catfishing is good on greeson, so I can make another push to change from lake chicot. I'm all ears...................
