Me and my big mouth.

Loose lips costs you crappie, big guy

Don't worry. It's not worth risking the rocks to get there. The new Reaper logo is the beans by the way. If you can photoshop a big crappie hanging from the scythe I want a decal for everything I own.

Didnt get to go early on sunday like i like to. Got on the water at about 4 p.m. Water in Blue Creek is in prety good shape clarity wise. The Fish dont seem to be where they were last year at this time. I have been kinda floundering. We did manage 10 keepers with cpl 12-13" fish mixed in. I didnt really pay much attention to water temp i think it was low to mid 50s. the fish we caught the bigger Fish bit like sandbass. Hammered the bait and headed for deep water really pullin hard others were to quote Ciller were hitchhikers. the majority of the fish were a little deeper 12-14 FOW . We probably caught 30 short fish. With all that said WHAT A BEAUTIFUL EVENING TO BE FISHING!!!the wind was light and the SUNSET AWESOME

Alot of guys are footballing, deer hunting, then there is the holidays etc. The board always picks up in December as does the bite. Believe me the Big O will be hot this winter! The numbers are amazing and they are huge! EB

Jig you really got after them yesterday! I fished from 9:30 to 4:00 and caught 7 today. Almost quit at 1:30 because at that point I hadn't even felt a tap. Maybe they turned on as soon as I left since the evening bite was so good to you. It was a beautiful day with wind from the east ( fish bite the least) and water temps were 61-63. I was surprised it was that warm. Did catch one little black. When I turned him loose he tail walked and then died which was very strange since I hooked him in the lip! Worst thing was that I fished alone for the first time ever so I had no one to blame the low numbers on. Usually it is dennis' fault.

Went out early and decided to use jigs and minnows. did not get a bite until I temporarily got hung up in the brush, then WHAM. I figured I was on to something. I tried it again, literally dropping the jig into the brush. Everytime I did so I got a thump. One of my buddies ended up catching one over 15".
It's amazing how you can move your bait a few feet over and start catching fish.

Great to hear Robert! Hope things are good with you and yours! I love fishing the thick of the brush. Is why I go through so many jigs and why I pour my own. Thanks for the report guys!
