I guess it was my day!!

I woke up last Saturday; my boat was already hooked up and ready to go. I just didn't know where I was going. An hour and a half later, I was putting in at Choctaw on Greer's Ferry. I started working the point that Creekslick and I have discussed before and started putting them in the boat. I have over 50 Bandits and they would only hit one particular one; of which I only had one. I finally snagged it on some timber. That can be frustrating since my success ratio is about 50% of getting them back. After many attempts with my plug knocker, I finally relented and broke the line. To make matters worse, my plug knocker was hung up too. I started to cut the line then thought I might as well tie it to a cleat then back up and see what happens. I hauled up about 4 feet of the limb it was snagged on. And dangeling from the limb was my Bandit of the day that was catching all of the fish. I stopped on the way home to shop for some more of that color. Had to wait until Monday and found three of them. I am just about to start on my second Bandit box.

I love a "good story"!!!

I am glad you got on them Don. That's why you always buy 6 of a color when you buy.:D Don't tell your wife that YOU HEARD THAT FROM ME.:p

Good story....where's the pics? :D

Seriously.....good story. Which color was it?

Hey DP,

You're killin' me here! What color??:confused:

Glad you got it back, though.

DP cant believe you'd tell that story and leave out the color Bandit you was a catchin em on:confused::D

Try fishing dingier waters and colors are not near as important. Here colors are more important to the fishermen than the fish. I even know of one guy who fished pro bass that thought 2 colors were plenty light and dark.;)

Oh boy. I have replies to everybody....

I would have to blame it on you buddy. I could never explain why I need 6 and I only use 4 poles.

Chartruse/black splatter back. I wished I was brave enough to post pictures. I am on the companies computer and they don't appreciate downloading stuff like photobucket. I ain't smart enough to do it otherwise.

I had the same thing happen in your fishing hole last Summer. That color was pearl with chartruse belly. I have a bunch of those now too.

I need to work on pulling them off of the stumps and out of the trees like you do. I would volunteer to take you on a crank pulling trip. But, I don't want to get you ruined too.

Your not on the Bandit payroll are ya?

I fish the south end of Greers around peter creek. Have never tried trolling for crappie on that part of the lake. Usually catch a few in early spring casting back in the creeks. Have any of you done any good on that end of the lake?

we have been doing alright with the crappies spooning them up in 24-38 fow down on the south end.

I have never tried any other part of Greer's except around either side of Sugar Loaf or directly across from Shilo.
