We were fishing for the first time in my buddy Don's 22 foot Sea Chaser.

Talk about moving from a Yugo to a Mercedes. That big boat was comfortable. Plenty of room up front for the both of us on his Add-A-Seat dual seat setup. The minnow bucket at our feet, but out of the way, fish ice chest right behind us so we don't even have to get up to toss one in the cooler, Hi-Tek rod holders have all our ten rods at out fingertips now... man, that was the most comfortable Crappie trip I've ever had. We normally fish our 'big boats' in salt water... but Don is hooked on Crappie fishing now as the New Thing , so we are hitting it pretty hard.


I guess its time for me to get my boat back in the water after sitting all summer.lockloosa is a little to far for me ,il probably try the clearmont area in the next couple of weeks.
We have been fishing Lochloosa (and Sampson) for the past two months and have done well every trip except one... and that was our fault for trying to fish in a storm anyway. We still caught fish even then before being forced off the lake... in a downpour, after the main motor quit and we had to come back in on the trolling motor, with lightning striking all around us, with visibility so short you could not see the shore... we came in with my hand-held GPS guiding us. Just another normal Tom and Don fishing trip.

Im thinking maybe trying to fish a few of the florida crappie club tournys next year.I wonder why rthey dont fish jhan and fen tournys,maybe it gets to crowded.

We are not really tournament types... hate the crowds. Which is why we never fish weekends.
