Yep got all those critters for sure.....The water comes from rain Bob.......There are several acres of land that drain rain water into my pond. I do have a over flow spillway and I have it screened off so fish will not go out the spillway.
G does the pond ever go dry on you and how deep is it I think it's pretty cool that that holds water all to the year I didn't think the you guys got that much rain right there.
The pond never goes dry, It is 14 feet deep out in front of the dam........the most water it ever loses on a extra hot dry summer is only two feet. I have 5 ponds on my farm
Yeah, fish one each day of the week and then go to the big lakes like Grenada on the weekend. Glad your boat is coming along nicely. Slab will be impressed especially after having such miserable weather and being shore bound while he was here. We both had rain suits at the ready but the crappies were deeper than we could cast from shore. There was no boat to rent either. Be sure to use Bob's jigs and Slab sauce when you fish with Ed. I have a feeling your nets will break from all the fish.Quote:

good morning ship he deftly wants to make sure that he has plenty of Bob's jigs so that he can wear himself out catching tons of fish.Quote:

So many places to fish gives me some good oportunities to test new baits and jigs out. I usually fish some where early every morning in the summer.
Every morning???????? God has indeed smiled on you!!!!
Plus a new tricked out boat...............
Snake River needs to move to Mississippi and set up shop!
Man oh man David. I thank you for making me jealous :-)
Come go fishing with me Ship
I just noticed you were in MS. A good friend of mine moved over there and i saw where you mentioned the watersheds. I do nto know what part of MS but he mentioned the watersheds and wants e to come fish some with him. Sometimes the crappie catch is over 200 a day. He said they do not get fished much and that they are loaded with crappie. He showed me some huge bass pics from them also.

you definitely got that right ship I think I'm going to move right beside G he has a brand-new boat everything that you could ask for all I have to do is throw my fishing pole in and away we go not to mention all those ponds he has all around him I would deftly have a field day.Quote:

OH Bob, you don't even have to throw your pole in as I have 10 in the boat right now and some more in my shop.
G sounds like me when I go fishing I have more rods and the boat then I know what to do with I bet you ship and me and you have enough rods to start a sporting goods.
If I ever am in your neck of the woods I will. Take care my friend. Save some for Slab.Quote:

Sometimes I fish with 8 at the same time....its called spider rigging or slow verticle trolling. Attachment 58862

Its not that much trouble once you get set up right and get used to it. Wally Marshall has a good video showing how to do this. The first time I tried it it looked like a three ring circus, lol......but I finally got organized and it got better. Its a lot of fun....I really like trolling.
Showing off "G" ?????? You are gonna make me buy a home on the lake real soon so I can keep up with you my friend. That is a nice setup. You and Snake River can be the new Capps -n- Coleman when he moves down there.Quote:

SHIP..... if your ever back in Ohio I have a open seat for you also....one of my favorite crappie rods I have is a 10ft uglystick crappie rod.....
SNAKE.....you moving down south?????.....G has plenty of poles for you ha ha ha ha.....but you cant get his truck dirty.....

So if I picked up on what he was saying right, that not much fishing goes on there and so therefore it is loaded with fish. I have not seen any of the pictures of the crappie from there, but I have seen pictures of some bass, and they were very nice size fish. You make me jealous with your nice pond though. I sure wish I had one. Let me ask you this, is it a nesting ground for mosquitos real bad? I thought of a small one on my property but not sure.
I have no mosquito problem....I mow and weed eat all around the pond to the water....keep it very clean....the bluegills and shellcrackers do the rest, Lol.
now you are making me really jealous, my favorite food
