The coolest thing that happened today was a young Lady name Madison fishing with Dad on a cold, rainy, windy February day. Cool boots, camo, pink coat. And off they went with a smile. Way to go!
Neither trophy came home with me. Did catch a dozen small crappie and one dink perch. How about it guys. Fess up. Dean got some pics. I didn't break out the camera. There was 17 anglers today.
Wheww it got nasty towards the end. Surprisingly the bite was better for me when the rain/sleet blew sideways. Overall water clarity was awful and lots of debris floating around. I ended up with 4 bass, 1 rockfish, 1 pike, 1 blue cat, 1 crappie, and about 15 yellow perch. Most everything today were dinks! My best perch went 10 oz . The winner had a 12 oz fish, didn't catch the name. And not sure on the winning crappie. Congrats to the winners and a great effort by all to fish through that mess.
It was good seeing some of the gang there. Just call me a BIG wimp!!!! I fished till 11: 30 with only two hits and the way my boat was leaking I decided to head out. I need to pick up the newer boat I am going to buy. Well guys is the next bash going to be at Kerr???
Sounds like a pretty good turnout for the weather.. Hope to see some pic's.
Jim, I am wimping out all together, waiting on warmer weather,,,, Hopefully,this week!
As I mentioned in another thread, I only had 4 small crappie and a catfish and the weather was deteriorating fast so I headed home at 1:00. I just don't have the same passion for staying out on the water since losing my wife Christmas Day.
Congrats to Windjinx for biggest perch and JD? For biggest crappie? I think the perch went 12 oz and crappie went 14oz
It was rough, a long ride back from NC with a 14' boat, 9.9 and two right hand gloves haha... M&Ms made it better. I only caught dinks, lost one nice perch well over a lb on a canepole, saw him and a stiff wind blew and I almost dove in after it! Most everything I caught was 9-10 fow right on the bottom. And had to be still if I was moving I'd bump the trolling motor into the wind and soon as the cork stood straight up it would plunge.
A big roun of applause for all who stuck it out, I sat in the truck for 10 mins warming up around 130. Then went and sat under the bridge with Dayton.
Here's my catch of dinks I think I had 1 bass 13 crappie and 5 yp and yes I bought minnows, it's nice to watch corks with your hands in your pocket when it's nasty
Yes indeed. I ended up with the winning crappie, with a 15oz one and had a few other decent ones to go with it. Second place had the 14oz one. I ended up catching 14 crappie, 6 dink yellow perch, 1 nice size white perch (12 oz), 1 striper, 1 large gar (probably 3 1/2'), 1 mudfish about 6lbs. Most fish caught prior to 12:00pm not much after the front really set in. Most of my fish came in 8 to 11 ft of water and like Bennet said not much boat movement. Most fish came on jig-minnow combos.
Wtg guys,i know it had to be tough
