This morning CMJ showed me the ropes on fishing the pads on Dlog Creek of Lake Yawnoc (sounds Russian). We caught close to 2 limits (I caught 5 crappie, maybe) and kept 16 that ranged in size from 10 to 13.5 inches. Chris can really fish! I was so busy asking him questions that I forgot to take some action pictures. Thanks again Chris for a great morning on the water! I learned a lot.

Bwahahaaaaaa!!! Nice catch Matt!
Good fishing with you, Matt. You are being modest, you caught at least six. :Rofl Just kidding. I had front seat advantage, CP did it to me the o ther day!!
I drove past there this morning and saw a few boat, guess I need a job like yours....
D10 look like you and Chris work them over this morning. Them look like some nice fish you kelp.
I love my job. It is tough but someone has to do it! Seriously though, it is in my job duties that I know the lakes that I manage. It is one thing to know a lake because you have a good data set. It is another thing to know a lake by fishing it. I think to be a good biologist and really know a lake, you need to do both.:twocentsQuote:

D10 when you taking us on a boat tours :biggrin
I completely 100% agree with you. I wish we had more of the "technical" professionals practice the "functional" side. It seems it would give a person or organization the best of both worlds.Quote:

I knew those crappie were in trouble. I couldn't agree more Matt with biologist or any other AGFC staff who are directly responsible for a lake or WMA to be personally and proffesinaly involved. It would be like growing a garden and never eating anything out of it for you to not sample the crappie from the lakes you manage.
The only boat tours that I can give include work (running nets and dip netting and working up fish). From time to time we do take a volunteer with us. But I assure you that it is no pleasure cruise. I still think its fun though.Quote:

Really? I heard 10-12". I experienced the same where I was today, except bigger fish, so it doesn't seem that far fetched.Quote:

Uh huh. Gotcha!!Quote:

Good Job Guys.
Good catch. Y'all put it on em.
Nice to have met you Shawn. How did y'all fair out there?Quote:
