Anf Thanks to GolfProCrappieMan (You need a shorter name Jody) for the Grilled Duck Breasts and the BBQ and Brunswick Stew...It was Fantastic!!
And a special Thank You to all that attended. Looking forward to next November already!!!!!!!
Thanks to Crappie.com folks for another great time this year!!!!
The wind was a deciding factor in several folks leaving after we ate.....Well, you left too early!! The wind laid down and made for a great afternoon of fishing. If you didn't catch any fish, it was because you wasn't fishing!! We went out and started fishing around 3:00 and there was only 2 other boats out there. Within an hour, there was over 20 boats fishing the same area we were at and everyone was catching fish. You can see in the picture that it was a beautiful afternoon...We didn't have time to take many pictures, but here are a few:

The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
