Brother I'll tell ya.... We went from having such high water that the parking lots for the boat ramps were part of the lake, then the corp of engineers dropped the water so low all but 2 of the ramps were unusable......yesterday we was back in the parking lots far as lake levels, today looked like they blew water out so hard we are close to summer pool.....geez.....talk about varying conditions......the Ohio rivers been so up & down I haven't even got out on it yet.......but like you said, sure beats being at work ha ha, our forecast shows rain all next week also.....and the roller coaster continues ha ha ha........oh well if that's the biggest problems I encounter, then I got it made!!!! Hope everyones well, have a great one, God bless all.

Well these have been the biggest of the season so far for me. They biggest were 15"; 16: and a pig of one at 17.5" Three of us, (Tim, Tony and me) were fishing from the shore at first. we kept casting toward the tree laydown and I kept losing icicles and jigs in the tree as did others. After losing about 20 jigs tony got the bright idea of walking out on the limb and vertical jigging. When he started to catch fish I timidly ventured out on the log itself and also verticle jigged. The tree was in 5' of water and wer were shaking jigs at about 2 feet down in the thickest branches.

We caught several 9 and 10 inch dinks and then some big boys came in. My crappies were caught on red/white icicles. That catfish hit a 2' grey and black minnow. All lures were made by Bob's jigs and tipped with crappie nibbles. It was a great day. I only stayed on the log about an hour til my ankles hurt, but it sure was fun!

Thats tree walking for sure. Good job Ship.

you did a good job. Ship the icicles work.

Thats what ya call going out on a limb to test Bob's icicles

Yeah. Pretty scary for an old man. Used all my red/cream and several chartreuse ones. Got to rent some scuba gear and go diving to get them back.
