OSS Quiz (What would you do?)

Look at the attached picture and imagine yourself in our boat today. Do you:

(1) think OSS is becoming forgetful in his later years and is leaving a trail like Hansel and Gretel to find his way back?

(2) assume OSS has been there and come to the startling realization that you are fishing water that has already been brutalized by the Truman Lake Assassin?

(3) think its a new technique of leaving crappie attractants in key locations to herd them up so he can wail on them next time he's on that tree?

or

(4) realize that Ed is cold and cruel and never takes Monty back to get his lure unhung?

I'd have to go with number 2. I'd also grab that jig and tie it on just for a little confidence boost.

Good stuff Steve. Good stuff.

I bet he is still griping about what that jig and tube cost him that he lost. :) "Well there went another 37 cents. Son of a bi%!!. Should have listened to Ed and stuck with the braided and this crap wouldn't be happening."

I vote number 4. Except in this case I think it was Ron and not Monty.:D:D

I'd vote for number 4, only because I spent Sunday am with meals on reels in his new "anti-tree" boat on Truman. I said "Yo, Josh, just because we have 10ft poles does not mean we have to stay 10 ft from the trees; Monty trolled right up to them when he showed me how to fish" "Oh, ok" So now we get closer to the trees, but he must have the trolling motor on 25 'cause we're going by them at about 15mph.:eek: By the time I drop my jig, not only am I hung up, but I've also lost about 20yds. of line. We are new, we suck, but we are learning (I hope:()

You've got to start somewhere Jack. The more time you spend on the water the better you will get. Keep at it and you will have it mastered in no time. :)

If my memory serves me right

Jack your trolling motor was set on a pretty fair pace the first time I used it.... like 24 volt high side.... Rabbit for fast Turtle for slow.......:D

Jack, you need to fish with us older people. We tend to get a lot slower with age. Slow is much better in a lot of things.:D Dipping trees just happens to be one of them.

Thank you for the words of encouragement! I was kidding more than anything, we just need to know our way around Truman better, and that will come with time spent on the water. Older people? Bob, I'M ALREADY THERE! And Monty, you are correct; until you showed me, I thought the trolling motor only had the rabbit setting:eek:

Interesting concept about fishing with older folks.
