I do read your post,,,Wiskers:D

That makes since. If you take what's given you can stay fairly busy. I just mainly fish for crappie.

Well bring yourself on down here 1 of these days and bring your Lab. We'll put them in the back and we'll get in the front and crappie fish. :D

I usually make it over two or three times a year to fish. Can't say that I have ever really had a great day other than when fishing for catfish.

IMO those redear don't just run up to a spot on the bank. They have specific spawning areas that you must first find and then put a pattern together. I have caught a few and most have been nice fish, I just don't have the time or history on the lake to put together and mark those spawning flats.

It ain't as easy as throwing out a worm under a bobber and pulling out 13 inch redear. Same story for crappie. I have come over there and threw jigs at marked fish attractors, what you have to do when you don't get over to sink or mark your own brush, and pulled maybe five keeper crappie a day out. All the while the local guys are able to fill limits spider rigging over brush that either they sunk or have marked from finding from many days on the water.

Not griping just showing that the reality is that you don't just dump the boat in and start catching fish over there save for really special days.
