A good Monroe morning

Started out calm with just a little nip in the air. The entire lake was covered with floaters making it almost impossible to troll etc. We found a place that wasn't quite as bad and started fishing. Can't say we were on fire but we did ok until the floaters started messing us up. Moved to another area picked up a couple and then the wind started and the lake quickly white-capped. We debated about calling it when the fish started biting so we held on as the boat tossed from side to side and after a short time and just as fast as it started the wind calmed and the water settled. We never found huntinslab's late December area (he won't tell), but it still was good day home by 11:00 with 17.

What is all the junk from? Winds break it off? Terry tried to troll the river but couldn't. Hit the pads and got a nice speck right away and thought he hit a good spot then didn't get anymore for a while so moved on.

Nice pics!!

It's typical of water rising but there hasn't been any of that going on so it must be the wind breaking up the pads and setting them free. Hopefully they will land somewhere by tomorrow and the lake will be clear. I think cg1 is going to Monroe and I hope she has a clear day. I'm sending you a pm also.

So, I guess that was a waste of time ......................

Another great trip Speckanator. Thanks for lettin me on the boat again. Always a pleasure.

And those fish out of Monroe are the prettiest crappie I've every seen. Great colors. In the sunlight you can see blue and turquoise in them.

Andy , anytime a Northeaster blows it stacks up the water in the St.Johns. Was in Jax this weekend and they were issuing flood warnings because of the Northeaster and a high front that were arriving at the same time. Should be back to normal for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Hope so BLSD, got four days of fishin to do this week and don't need the high water. Going to hit Monroe and may even hit Diaz one day. Looks like a windy week..........

Well, we got high water down here in Titusville, and even down Poinsett way = so, it's all headed your way ......
I predict you'll have high water for another three weeks, three days and seven hours at least .......................

:HandsClappingSorry to mess up your river fishing crappieday but the high water is better than the low, low water we saw this summer.
We gotta stay ahead or we will be in a severe drought come spring

No problem, I need to learn to fish some of the other lakes around here anyway, tight lining. Dock shooting...etc...etc...etc.......

I hear ya, I'd love to learn how to fish the river
Lake fishin is good but sometimes the weather
makes it rough &/or the fish just ain't there
