I snuck away to Neely Henry Lake this morning for a few hours to fish from the bank. The Crappies still were not hitting. Got some nice bream and this two pound bass who thought he was a crappie because he hit Bob's icicle. (Tipped with a crappie nibble on a 1/16th sickle hook jig)

That is a nice bass Ship. Looks like a good day to be fishing with the lake very calm. Congrats Thumbs Up
Neeely Henry Lake Is about 90 minutes from my home near Gadsden AL where Weiss Lake (Crappie capitol of the world) is located. By the way David, the white stuff on my chin is because I am bald on the top of my head. Still not too bad for almost reaching 4 years from 70 years old.Quote:

You and I are the about same age Ship, I turned 66 back in January......I have all my hair....its just a different color, lol.....and still have all of my teeth.
you must be eating the right food we can knock out your teeth so I won't feel bad about myself and of course will cut your hair off and then you could be right in with the rest of us we turn 64 this year.Quote:

Just trying to figure out a place where I can bring the boat and meet you sometime to go fishing. Figureing from here to Florence , AL to go to Wilson puts us both traveling about the same distance.
ok. Let me know. Appreciate it David.
Just have to find a place in the Florence....Muscle Shoals area where I could buy a non-resident three day permit early in the morning. Maybe AL has a web-site where I could buy one online. Well.....we got some time to figure all this out before it cools off a little.
Yeah. Let me know. I will probably take the wife up the night before and find a motel like Hampton inn so she can have a mini vacation too.Quote:

I will just leave out early one morning and we can fish untill noon or 1 or 2 o'clock and I'll head home. Needs to be cooler though so we will enjoy it more. I am unfamilier with those waters so you and I will be fishing blind.....but I have done that before....sometimes you find them and sometimes you don't. I will bring a couple of long poles to single pole Bob's jigs with and if that dosen't work I will have 6 trolling rods, line counter reels, and my Bandits with me and we can pull crankbaits. If you find out any info on the boat ramp or about the temp non-residence license let me know and I will be looking as well.
I will research and email you. Should be cooler late September.
May have to do it before then or on over in Oct. I have a trip planned for several days on Okatibbee Lake late September and then the MS. C.c crappie camp is the weekend of Oct. 8 at Sardis Lake
We can figure all this out and plan by PM....think we have hi jacked this thread enough, lol.
Just sent you an email with the links.
