It's close ....and it cures "the addiction".....

It will make a fisherman out of you if you have the patience to learn it but it is constantly changing and if you miss a week you have to start all over to find them. I've fished 4 different patterns in five trips there and it's been slow each trip but I have always managed a mess of decent fish so I will be back waiting for the magic to happen. The Lake has changed so much over the last 40 yrs that I've fished I wish I had pictures from when I first started fishing.

one thing for sure about Henderson is it will teach you every pattern that a sacalait can have!! sometimes you will fish more than one pattern in a day!! depends on what area of the lake you are fishing!!! i have learned to try everything you can think of at each spot you fish i think the fish are always there they just are not always on the same page as you!!! LOL!! it can be frustrating but it teaches you patience and makes you a better fisherman!!! like i always say if you can consistently catch fish in Henderson you can catch fish anywhere!!!

Thank goodness I am not the only one......I mean, just how many patterns can you try to catch.....you got shallow, you got deep, you got colors, you got slow fishing or fast, slip cork or tight line, you got jigs, crank baits or shiners, you got on the bank or off the bank......you got muddy water, good water and black water.....and water rising, falling or standing......then there is pre-spawn, spawn and post spawn conditions.....sometimes you have to find them.....then they may not be feeding.....most of these I have tried my last few trips.....with little success.....sometimes it is just dumb luck of being at the right place at the right time with the right bait and presentation......one rule is watch where the other boats are going and how they are fishing.....works sometimes, but then, do they know more than you....and I have not even got into what line or type hooks or poles....

The only sure thing that works for me is a cup of hot coffee on a cold morning after being on the water for about an hour or 2.....beats sitting home watching Judge Judy........are we crappie fishermen nuts or what.....

Ate some last night......that was success.......
