Northwest wind,,raining, 37 degrees

Its raining lightly,,wind about 7 MPH out of the northwest, its 37 degrees...just right!!! LOL

Truthfully,,I'm debating whether to go fishing or build the hand rail to compliment my steps on the trailer..
The bite has been early on Dardanelle,,tapering off by noon and pretty much non-existant by 1'ish..I could work on my trailer after the bite..but am usually beat by the time I get home....Its these monumental decisions that are so hard for older people...lol

I will mention that I got to meet creekslick yesterday, although,,it was like two ships in the night,,only daylight, lol I was pleased that he had a good day on my home lake.

Ya'll have a good'n..still kicking it around about fishing or working...lol

Don I am kicking around the idea of going also. Last vacation day of the year. It was good meeting you yesterday also, you and Ray will have to come over here sometime in the summer and pull cranks with me.

Don't Over do yourself out there Don...HAHA you need to take a break till I get done with my work week. Man retirement must be nice. I cant wait till I get to that stage of my life when I wake up... and say Hmmmmm let's see am I going to fish today, or work on my boat. Decisions? Decisions?

Well,,after due consideration, that and rtark saying,,yeah,,I'll go with you...lol We hit the lake It was a bit airesh on the boat ride, But hey,,we're gungho crappie fishermen...whats a little sub freezing temps to men of our caliber...lol

Russ,,you gonna have to work,,cause I need my gubberment check...sorry old buddy...lolThe bite was slow, but we managed to catch some pretty good crappie, or I did,,rtark watched in utter amazement as I lifted one slab after another in the boat, he wants to be just like me when he grows up...roflmbo

We got them fileted and rtark had the oil hot,,my little belly is all pouched out now...we had lots of fun,,and that boys and girls is what its all about.

Same here with the slow bite. Put #20 in the boat at 1:30. Had a first happen today got 2 hybrids on one 12' Wally Marshall rod. Had to tighten the drag on the reel to land them.

I'm betting that was a handful, those hybrids idle about 50 MPH...lol

Attachment 75863Here's a picture of the double.

Here's today's catch.Attachment 75865

Nice!!!!

Way to go. That looks like a fun time for sure.

I use 2 1/8 oz jigs with the bottom one tied on the end of the line and the top one tied up the line about 16" with a loop knot.
