Thank you. No report today as I have to work on the Ranger boat project. The boats owner is coming by to help work on it. I'm not sure but I think we are going to start replacing gauges today.
Yesterdays trip was a bit slow. we only cleaned 18 of 34 not including the striped bass.
We caught both on crappie jigs and ultra-light action rods. They were fun and we had to prove that we knew how to fish as they greatly outclassed the tackle we were using.
Truthfully we were just goofing off with the striped bass and could have limited on them if we had wanted to.
When I first moved here I fished a lot with the original Six Old Geezers and had a minimum of 10 years of intensive striped bass training. The Geezers taught me Lake Texoma and even how to drive a boat. Time spent with them was a lot of fun. Most of the Geezers have gone on to be with the Lord by now so I won't be able to visit with them again until it gets my turn to go. Sunshine George was without comparison the best friend I ever had. In a world where most have ulterior motives George was always genuine. Even though it has been many years since he has left there is still a big hole in my life with his absence. One of the greatest honors of my life was to assist in George's baptism. The pastor at the time wasn't sure he could lift George back out of the water by himself. George insisted on being baptized in Lake Texoma and we did it at Lakeside Campgrounds and the whole church was there.
I also had the honor of attending both his 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries.
For those that don't know, George owned Sunshine/Grayline bait tanks.
I seem to have wondered off topic.
I went for about an hour after working on the Ranger project. It was weekend fishing. I know I should expect it but it still irritates me when a boat trolls within 50’ just to see what I’m doing.
I went after church yesterday to look for some more new brush piles. I found 5 and caught 38 crappie from them. I went by myself and I guess I was in a hurry to get done cleaning and forgot to take a pic.
The Lone Stranger and I went today looking for new brush piles and found 3 catching 18 crappie. We were both to lazy to clean fish so no pics today.
When I retire I want to grow up to be just like you! 16 months and counting.

You may be setting your ambitions a bit low :). 16 months will go by quicker than you think.

No fishing yesterday or today. Making prep for hunting trip next week. Been asked to take someone fishing tomorrow even though it is supposed to be windy. I guess I'll see how it goes.
Good luck on the hunting!

Thanks. The plan is to go hunting Sunday after church and stay till Tuesday evening. I had always be anxious to go in years past but this year I don't really care if I shoot something or not. I guess it's because I'm old and my back hurts 24/7 and if I shoot something I will have to process it. The taste of wild game greatly varies depending on the processing so I tend to be kind of picky about my processing.

We process all of our meat. That way we know it’s ours, and done right.

I do the same.
My hunting buddy and I have both always processed our own meat. It’s the only way quality can be depended on.
Hunted Monday and Tuesday with my hunting buddy. I got a pretty big doe.
The Corp of Engineers is helping me with my crappie fishing addiction by closing some boat ramps.
Boat ramps were closed so I spent the day on the Ranger restore project. I managed to get every gauge replaced and working. It took a bit of want to because I had never done that before and every gauge did not work before I started. I replaced the speedometer, tach, fuel gauge, and tilt & trim gauge. I also installed a volt meter that the Ranger did not come equipped with.

There should be a fish album, aluminum boat recarpet album, the Ranger restore project, and one on making 1/4 oz spoons.
Thanks, I never new we had that feature will have to make some of my own.Quote:

In the rain gauge at my house I have recorded 16” of rain in 16 days.
Wrangler did you find a ramp to use?

Always paddling
I did not fish these past few days. It has been raining everyday till today. I used the time to process the doe I had harvested and took care of a few chores around the house. Today I fired my muzzleloader several times just to be sure it was still on and then gave it a thorough cleaning.
Being as Texoma is high and muddy I been spending more time hunting so no fishing reports lately.
Glad to see you posting. Was wondering?!

Still hunting season and my favorite ramps are still closed so nothing much to report. I did however get the chance to recommend CC to a medical professional today. Can’t wait to see if they post.
Yesterday was a bit of a day of mourning in the Wrangler household. I put the cover on the crappie boat. �� It was a very traumatic experience for me. I may need some counseling, but then there are those that have said I needed professional help for years. ��
