A HOT weekend of SLOW fishing...Murray 7/7

A little late on getting this report in, but better late than never I reckon. Me and daddy hit the water Saturday morning in hopes of finding some biting fish...like I had figured...the bite was slow to obsolete. A lot of the haunts that normally hold fish seem deserted. I believe the fish are still there, but just are not actively feeding for whatever reason. We covered a lot of water and convinced a decent mess to bite our jigs. We ended up keeping 13 crappie and 2 bream.

Saturday afternoon our nephews came over to spend the night with me and Chris. When Chris asked them what they wanted to do the oldest replied..."I want to go fish and eat the fish we catch for supper!" That sounded like a stellar idea to me too :biggrin We took the boys out with a couple cages of crickets and some bream poles and caught us a mess to eat. They had a blast! Neither of them have been around fishing a whole lot in their young lives and when the cork would go down it was quite a site to see the little ones slinging a bream through the air on the end of a 13 foot pole! :biggrin I had a blast taking them out and I was glad we were able to find a few bream willing to bite. Chris caught a nice shellcracker....the youngest is holding it in the picture below...

Sounds like a good wekend for ya CB.Thumbs Up You and your Dad was able to bring home a respectable mess of fish and I bet those nephews had a fantastic time with their Uncle.:) Those boys will remember those fishing trips with you for the rest of their lives. Good job!:highfive

Very, very cool trip in very, very hot weather. LOVE to see those little guys on the fish!! Congrats on a great weekend.

Good job, CB. Lots of guys your age are too busy to fool with the young kids. You will be their idol for a long itme.

I agree with what Searay stated, not many young men would have the patience to take a couple of small kids out for a day fishing. Well done CB! Every day can't be a killer day of catching, but like the ol'saying goes a bad day of fishing is still better then a good day working. To boot, you ended with a decent mess of fish, so they (fish) may have had the edge on that day, but ya'll were still in the game.

Way to go CB. Them kids have that WE had a ball look on their faces. Congratulations on the catch.

Good report CB. Looks like the boys had a good time fishing for the bream. :)

Congrats CB, I also agree with SeaRay. Those kids will remember those days forever. I'm glad ya'll had a blast and caught fish. Thanks for the report and pics.

Way to go CB,,I enjoy seeing those kids catch fish..They'll remember those trips for sure..Im suppose to take some church kids saturday,I hope I can get em some fish,

good going derek. i am not surprised one bit that you took your young cousins out fishing. i will bet that you had just as much fun as they did. i have got to get my boat into the water in order to catch a fish. have done a little striper fishing with a buddy around the dam. have done pretty good at night. anyway; for a clemson boy i will have to say that you are o.k. (you know this hurts) ha ha. hope that your job is going well. jd and i will be back on the lake before long. i am looking at new boats. i should not be but sometimes you just gotta look. sure would like to have a new tidewater 1900 or 1850. oh well.
