Someone slipped down to Ouita bay real quiet like this morning and got on a certain hotspot and caught at least 40 specks, kept a limit of 20 fat ones with a couple 14 inchers and is being mighty quiet about it. I ain't gonna call out his name, but his initials are XRING. And I sit here on my butt afraid I might get my one hair wet while he did it. I plan on being there about 4:00 in the morning cold wind and rain or not. (maybe)
I did manage to catch some good'ns today...most were jusy 10-12" fish,,but some were good'ns to me..You knbow my skills with camera and computers,,need you ask more!!! lol
I know that some of the new line went on the spool backwards,,because I put it on both ways,,label up on one,,label down on another...also found some old line I put on one rod...It ought to be a show about daylight on ouito...spelling...lol
The fish had moved on out to 30' of water, but the water temp had dropped 3 degrees since last trip. I caught them on a bobby garland slab slayer, rtark discovered this awesome bait and shared his wisdom with lil ole me. It was in my favorite color...cajun cricket....using a 1/8 oz. jig I poured myself with a mixture of babbit and pure lead to make the barb more rigid, I used a ozark signature 11 ft. crappie rod,a cheapo shakespere spinning reel loaded with 8# trilene XL line, I used a palomar knot and them danged crappie never had a chance....lol lol lol
as they say without pictures it did not happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know who THEY is, but They is wrong cause it happened.Quote:

Well Ill tell ya it was the first time me and RTARK fished together we was in a lil cove. We hadent caught much till i put on one of those baits (Lil diff color tho) and My buddy RTARK had to watch me catch about five nice slabs in a row on him... LOL we both fell in love with that bait from then on. Had to Brag a LIL.Rofl
Dang,,here I sit in my truck, a gentle rain splashing on my windshield and a little lighted display on my rearview mirror says its 40 degrees, leaves from Norristown mountain about a mile away are drifting horizonally to the ground, or in this case, to Ouito bay. The marker bouys disappear then appear in the rolling waves...perfect conditions for a good crappie fishing trip....lol Then I woke up.....Opened the door to let scooter dog out, he stuck his nose out and gave me a "are you crazy" look and padded back to bed...lolQuote:

I'm taking a wait and see attitude about going fishing this morning....right now,,the side of my brain that still functions is saying,,NAW....lol
CP, I am LMAO right now about that SS bait. Me and XRING knew we would get a rise from you on his post. Rofl but you were too kind in your response. You tied on that over sized ugly looking SS and caught at least "10" good crappie before I finally gave up and tied one on. Xring uses the 2" in the orange/char/silver and the cajon chicken. I am still doing ok on my marabou hand ties but If I need some of his, I will just sneak into his goodie bag and help myself since he just bought $40 worth of them. I am looking forward to my next lesson from you. My son just gets to fish on early Sunday mornings so I told him where we had been catching them and he just called with a limit and will still make it to church by 11. Too windy for me today.Quote:

Watch out XRING... Ray will have every color, size, and type you have in your bag.... labeled, numbered, and catagorized before you know it. HAHA LOL HAHA
I think ole rtark has been Tom Sawyering me, yep, He'll brag on this or that,,knowing I'll run right down and get me some...then he watches and IF,,mind you IF I do good on it,,he'll go get him some...I was right happy with my boat trailer til he started telling me just how good it'd look black with gold pin stripes, aluminum wheels and a different set up on the wench...I ordered the stuff that night,,lol,,and he WAS right...lol I have noticed he's bad to peep in my ditty bag...skeered I done found sumthang awesome...lol Looking forward to meeting you and jerking a few white perch...have a good'n.Quote:
