Banner day on the rez

I know alot of you guys could care less about those Stripers but I nailed them yesterday. Limited out as a matter of fact. Bad part and it's the only bad part besides me being slap dab wo out was I had several get off due to it only being me in the boat. I finally found them suckers yesterday and yes, thank you 997. Just trolling around pulling cranks, I've been using the DI or the regular FF so I could see how deep the fish were. I changed yesterday to the SI and found them and found them thick. Had 6 poles out and after I spotted them on the SI stacked on a point, I buzzed right on top of them. I figured I'd get 1 maybe 2 on at the same time but I wasn't ready for what happened next. First pole went off so I went and started reeling it in and heard buuzzzzzzzz, the line screaming out on the other side of the boat. From there it was down hill as I had 4 Stripers and a catfish on at the same time. Got 2 out of that first set in the boat. Took me about 45 to get things reset and back over for another pass. This time 5 poles went out again, all 5 were stripers. Wo me out I tell you. I had just enough time to make one more pass through there but this time with only 2 rods, to heck with 6 out with one person. I picked up my 6th Stripers that time. Smallest Striper was 18 inches, biggest was just under 28 inches and the rest were 22-24 inches. Caught 2 nice, bout lb n a half or so crappie to boot so it was an awesome day. PICS to follow as soon as my sweet wife gets them downloaded for me.

Sounds great, you sound like you were busier than a one legged man at a tail kicking contest. :D Days like that make it sweet.

that I was worn out from fishing in just a a couple or so hours. Trick was to call someone and you'd get a bite. Was on the phone with Maj one time and McHappy the next time. LOL

One of those trips where your arms are to tired to drive to the ramp.

had one rod came out of the rod holder and went in the water so I dove back to the back of the boat and grabbed it before it sunk. I have the driftmaster holders and the bar mount but even though I tightened them with a pair of pliers, it pulled the screw loose and the holder pointed to the back of the boat. I got lucky on that one.

congrats DD, but I hate you!

but that 4 letter word got in the way. Then Maj had to go gets his dogs out of the kennel and my best friend was still working so I was all by myself. Here's a couple pics so it DID HAPPEN. MAN, those crappie look tiny but they were both over 13 inches, biggest was pushing to 14 inches

Looks like fun!

Way to go bud

where the stripers are is real close to where I've been catching the Crappie pulling cranks so I get to double dip on species.

Bet that was wild,and you wound up with some fine eating also,way to go.

Man those fish look good.

Did I really just waste 4 minutes of my life reading about stripers?

I guess you did :) How many have you caught lately?

nice, dd

have I already mentioned I hate you?

that Bag o peanuts you had? :D:p

I refer you to your lunch thread

Lobster bites for an appetizer. Then some of those fresh rolls with honey butter on them that melt in your mouth. Then grilled Ribeye and Ribs plus a loaded baked tater and ceasar salad. OH and a hot fudge cake for dessert:D

may the curse of 1 thousand blue paper towels come upon you

that's bubbling away right now if you know what I mean. Back in 15 minutes LOL

DD, what area were you fishing? Out from Fannin landing? Thats where several folks have been catching those stripers.

from where I was. Course I could see the dam, Roses bluff and if I looked real hard, I could almost see 3 Prong hehe. I found a channel that was 32 foot deep with a 10-12 foot hump and on the other side, 15 FOW. IF I can find my darn card reader, I'll post the image from the SI. I freaked out when I saw all those fish on it stacked like that. The SI paid off and in a big way

That's a dead give-a-way for lunch at Bass Pro.

I love it when it gets plum crazy in the boat. Nice mess of fun right there.

I was laughing at you trying to get all them fish in and losing em ...bwaaahahahahah!!!!! What have I been telling ya'll ...you only need one pole at a time ....one fish at a time...makes for way better memories!!!!

Naw...jk,....congrats on having some fun wish I could go!

but my day wouldn't have been half as interesting as it was if I hadn't had 5 poles go off 2 different times
