My kingdom for a cricket
I was at "The Pond" today been there about 3 or 4 hours, I used worms, fished on the bottom, on the top, in the middle, different distances, etc. well I caught some microgills, a few minigills, and one keeper, hey it was 5 inches I swear, anyway, A guy comes walking toward me, he had just got there, ask me if i was having any luck, i said not really, they just ain't biting today, must be the wind and a 58 degree temp, just a miserable day. I proudly show him my only keeper and he disappears down the path about 15 to 20 feet from me, about 15 minutes later i holler at him, "how's it going, ain't biting are they?" he says "naw not really, only caught about 6 or 7 so far", I'm thinking, what the hell. So ya know i gotta see what he's doing right and what i'm doing wrong, he's fishing a foot deep with #4 tru turn and a cricket, when he cast, i swear it looked like a school of Pirahna attacking . Well it's supposed to be nice tomorrow, and i'm gonna have a pocket full of crickets, and hopefully a better story !

Been fishing the last couple weeks down on Ocmulgee river just downstream from Jackson Lake dam...theres one particular place where the river comes in to the bank hard and makes a calm culvert and with polarized glasses you can see a billion beds. A tube of crickets...fished on a small long shanked cricket hook about 12-15 inches under a small, quarter sized round weighted float...caught about 40 in an hour 20 of which were keepers at 6-8 inches with a couple 10 inches in the mix.
