The fish were biting, but PG24 and I didn't come to fish as much as we came to "find" new brushpiles. From about 8:15-11:00am, we "found" 9 new pieces of brush in extactly the places we look foward to finding them again in the near future. I finally had the chance to try my new Mister Twister Electric Knife today and now I'm about to fry up some bonus crappie for a small gathering at my house. Contemplating bundling up again tomorrow:)

The temp was warmer, but it felt colder than yesterday. The bite was inconsistant and I'm thinking if I brought some minnows the fishing would have been a little better. I don't like to use minnows when it's so cold because I have to get my hands wet more often. Oh well. I kept fish two consecutive days...I think that's a record for me. Until next week.

It was nice to be out on the water. At times I had 4 poles out, but I had my best bites near the Ebeneezer Bridge finesse fishing one pole--checking each root and branch along the channel edge. I caught a few dozen small fish, but once I began to settle into a concentrated pattern, the average size improved. Of the 11 I took home, 5 were right around 12". I lost one crappie that was easily 13"--you may never hear me say this again, but I blame the hook! I later switched hooks.
On another note, I pulled a 19" bass out of about 27'. Expectations were high until it flashed gold--but it was still fun. She's still swimming out there for a restless bass fisherman to hook into. Speaking of which, I saw a bass fisherman idle under the Ebeneezer Bridge wearing some sort of mask. It looked like a cross between a Jason and a Spiderman mask. I guess it was to keep his face warm, but I was tempted to toss some candy into his boat anyway.
The boat will stay dry tomorrow.

It was slow for me on Saturday. I saw others catching them...but I think I was holding my pole wrong:) Sunday, I built a stone wall and watched football. All in all, it was a good weekend. Social next weekend!

Beautiful day for fishing! An even better day for a social. My best spot was a chance find. I was fishing open water and temporarily snagged some wood. I threw a bouy on top of it and pulled 6 or 7 of my 12 keepers off of it. Yardwork tomorrow, but I'm tempted to follow a fishing lead.

Warm and windy! I was finally able to excersize my right to bear arms! Me and Skiffless tried a new area for crappie. We did well. There were several other boats packed on the spot, anchored, using minnows. I set Skiffless up with the jig rigs and he outfished me on quality. I caught the same boatload of small fish on minnows that those around us were catching, but the only person I saw consistantly pulling in nice fish was sitting behind me. I was also the only boat fighting the wind--that may have helped. Several times I watched my rig on the depth finder as I lifted it up to a suspended fish, and several times I saw myself set the hook on the fish. Thanks for coming along, Skiffless!
