Both! As well as to avoid shoveling all that snow in Ohio! James, save a few crappies for me. I do get to the Akron or Columbus area at least once a year. Usually when there is no threat of snow...say July or August. :-)Quote:

I try and go when I finish the "Honey do" list...but da wife, and church duties, keeps adding to it. I may get out fishing about 3 times a month.
yes I was aware that he had five ponds. I just want the main one showed in the picture. Yeah and it would be nice to fish every morning as well.

Dang it all Snake River. You and G are gonna make me move real soon. I need to fish your baits every day. Today I could only paint minnows and put marabou on the Jelly Jigs. Closest fishable water is 1.5 hours away. You and G are blessed. He's probably out fishing now dadblasteditallanddadgummitall.
This will make you feel better Ship.....Hook One and I left out early this morning and fished 6 hrs. and we got skunked......I talked to people in at least a dozen boats and they were not catching either so that made us feel better. We needed Jeepguy and his son with us I guess. Anyway marked lots of fish on the fish finder but they were not biteing. Jelly jigs, shad stingers, and rooster jigs....nothing. They were just not hungry. I think the little cool snap we had beginning of the week turned them off. Maybe they will get right in a couple of days of warmer temps. The Terrova worked great.....I love Spot Lock....fantasitc.
Oh....I forgot....we still had fun...sure beats working or hanging around the house.
I also have something for ship that will make him feel better watch your mailbox.Quote:

G that is how it was at Guntersville, big time lockjaw. I hate that happened while you were in the boat. I expected it with terrible weather and bank fishing with Slab. Hopefully we both will do better next week or you definitely when Slab gets there.Quote:

Way to do your home work. You get A+ for effort. It will pay offer you the next time you go. I still believe in Bob's jigs because I have seen them work on bull Shell-crackers and bull bream with my own eyes. I have caught some 11 inch crappie on the 2" minnow but I am still looking for a true slab to hit that or an icicle soon.
ship G is making us go down to the grocery store to eat breakfast and here I thought he was going to bring us our breakfasts down her on one of those ponds why we were fishing.Quote:

Remember food tastes better when you got fish slime and worm dirt on your hands. Thumbs Up Wash it down with a caffene free diet coke or a cup of half caff out of the thermos.
nothing like having fish slime in worms in dirt makes your food taste better.Quote:

That is enough fooling around on this thread. Let's get back to talking about fishin and baits before a super super mod moves this to off topic or something. We all want to be like Bob and David. Thank God for blessing them with fishable water so close by.
I am going to find some fishable water next week. I have David's address :-)
fishable water is easy to find....I am looking for some thats catchable, lol

I was watching the weather channel today guys in your weather is going to get terrible you've got tornadoes and stuff forecasted for back to their country we had a snow squall schools through today but it still managed to get up to about 65 recap the 60s or highs the rest of the week but some rain with it.
Only caught five crappies yesterday. All hit icicles though. Had fun though. It was dangerous trying to stand on a laydown in the water. Will post a photo later today. The fillets were tasty.
I'm glad that the icicles work for you.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:
