Slab Limit

Couldn't stand it any longer. Hooked up the other woman and headed for an out of the way lake here in Deland. That idea didn't work very well for me but it did for a guy who was leaving. It seems he had used the ramp last evening without issue, but today was a different story. Try as he might he wasn't able to get his van to pull the boat up and out of the ramp. Looking at the ramp I knew it wasn't going to happen for me either. Went to flat ground and dropped mine and got out the strap and did what we know each other would do , reconnected and went in search of another ramp. So if the Whitehair bridge was good enough for the Crappie Masters, it's good enough for me. Not too crowded and got unloaded in record time. Pulled up to attach the new fender liners on the trailer, all 6 screws. Made it to two and the cordless gave up, spare battery at the house. Murphy's law. Into the ride and eased out into the river to find traffic light. Got to the area I wanted to fish and was glad to have it all to myself. Now it's been every bit of 15 years since I've been here but it did well for me in the past. I saw birds coming and going, the calls of others unseen, and a dragonfly hung around my boat the entire time I was there. Didn't load up on the fish but did see a lot of lily pads getting bumped around so I stuck with it. Got a chunky 'gill, a Longnose Gar about 16", and an acrobatic convict greenfish that was so excited he got an early release before he could make a cameo for this post. So I got 1 of this and one of that and one of the other. I hear that's a Slab limit. Here's the pics, it was good to get out after so long without. Thanks for visiting with me today.......Skeet

You need to stop learning from me! I'm the wrong guy for that. Yep, sounds pretty much like a day out on the water for me. Kinda exactly like that. Except I'd prolly loose a couple crank baits to gar on top of it all. Glad you on on the water, and thanks for sharing the pics/story. Oh, good job with the good deed to help pull the van out. You da man. :highfive

Well at least you got out and caught a few.

Just think...if you didn't go you would have been home thinking about it all day. I know I would have been. You scratched that itch! Good deal.

Went out for only an hour this morning till it got too hot and got a Bowfin "Slab Limit" on a Shineee Hinee. Yuck, but at least it was a good fight, and I got my Shineee Hinee back! It's always good to get on the water no matter what you catch. Just something about it.

Nice toothy creature.
The green carp tournament fishermen do not put them back alive.

lol on the slab limit, haven't seen a report from you for a while so it is good to see you got out.

it still beats working

Thanks for the adventure Skeet - you made me feel like i was in boat with you.
No matter what, just going out with boat, pitting it in water and moving around - IT SURE BEATS
sitting in recliner and thinkin about it................
I so wish i could get back on water again.................
Again thanks - you made my day

No Charge Harold. Glad you enjoyed it.
