Wally slept in this AM and was late to the ramp. Never seen a fella drive through town with his rods in the holders before. Well, never seen a fella do it with 16 footers anyway. Then again, maybe when he started these were 16 footers and they just got trimmed down to 8s.

You have to take a number to get your boat in the water.
They've got a ranger out there that calls your number and a the sign read "now serving number 138" this AM. :)
Wannabe...
Now let's discuss patterns.
Looks like the jig is up on the emergency spillway bite. Sorry Torch and Sat.
Wannabe...
Thats NOT the Emergency spillway you Gewber!!!!
I had my windows down when I came by this fella. I could hear him say "OK, only 2 more miles of rocks to go and then I'll know for sure the fish are not on a rock pattern."
Weird thing was, the fella a little further up happened to say "Only 1.5 more miles of rocks to go and then I'll know for sure the fish are not on a rock pattern."
True story.
Wannabe...
No, it ain't but I could tell they were all pointing and talking about it and trying not to let the other boats know they were gonna fish it next.
Now quit interupting my report. You're making me lose my train of thought.
Wannabe...
Now, let's see, where was I..........
Oh, yeah. You can't tell it from these 2 pics, but there's some where around 20 boats in both pics, they just don't show up with my crappy cell phone camera.
Perry Creek had a good 5 boats in the mouth by the timber too. Don't think they were fishing though. They looked more like they were staking out the joint waiting for Torch and Sat to blow in. Man they're gonna be disappointed though. Torch said he was coming in from the rail road tracks with a 10 footer strapped to the trunk of his Ford Tempo so no one would see them. Sat is gonna skull for them since he's got the brand new bionic shoulder shoulder and all. He's a tough old dude to be able to reach 1.6 mph to get those DD22s bumping the gravel under that bridge. I'll say that much for him.
As you can see, the boys are getting a rest from the wind........well at least this AM any way. Light rain was falling when I came across the levee, which of course means it's gonna dump another 3" on 'em and blow 64 miles per hour out of the N, S, E and W before they have to come in for registration today. I think it's mandatory that they all register between Noon and 3 today. Know what that means? We can all slip out there and catch their fish while they're fooling around at the ramp and the registration. That'll show them foreigners to mess with our lake. :)

trollin the dam seems to be popular. If you get a chance ride down the RR tracks at Wrights Grocery and check the tressle for me.
looks like Wally is long lining jigs from the back.
BTW, second to last pic....check out my mirror........chick in the Jeep thought I was drunk weaving down the levee snapping pics as I went. Tried to pass me several times, but chickened out. When she blew by me at the end, I kind of felt bad about it. Had I known she was that hawt, I'd have let her pass me way earlier. LOL.
Wannabe...
You have admirable self control. If I had to drive across the dam to get to work.... I would be collecting unemployment...Too much temptation there!
Akshually, I don't. Matter of fact, I have to go from basically the Interstate to the Upper Elementary, then to the Junior High, then to the main marina, then accross the levee. I do this for you, my readers. The little people. Dern, though, I've chewed up a tank of gas this week bringing all of you live reporting with up to the minute details. If they have this thing here next year, I'm gonna be looking for some sponsorship dollars out of ya'll.
Wannabe...
I just couldn't stand that every morning
He knows he wouldnt catch any ifn he did go!!!
Is that any way to talk to your pit crew chief?
Wannabe...
Just change the tires daggumit!!!
And fill er up
Ya'll done sold outta rainsuits around there yet ? 80 % today --50% the next 3 --Sun. lookin good. Laundrymat 's probably doing good biz. LOL
Thanks for the update wannabe. Keep up the good work.
Today is the first day in a week that I have not fished, and have not gotten rained on in my boat....Rain, Rain, go AWAY
WB needs to go to work ESPN and do the BASS shows on Saturday
