    Default Lotsa dinks, but a nice day too...


    Caught a pile of non-keepers (Shellcracker) this morning. The Crappie bite was non-existant and I didn't bring any catfish bait so it turned into a fun game of downsizing my hooks and grubs and seeing just what I could reel in. They went crazy for the chartreuse 1 inch curly tail grubs and I did fairly well with white ones too. I don't even know what size hooks I used- they came in a pack of assorted sizes and were for lip rigging minnows...tiny tiny things.

    Anyway- maybe I'm easily amused- but it was a nice day off from work and the fish were biting so what more can you really ask for?

    you had some fun, nothing wrong with that in my mind. Whole lot better than gettin' skunked ain't it.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
