Dang son you got that pose down pat , even better than CP.
Wow! Those are some thumpers! I bet that was fun. I knew that I should have gone out this moring.
If you were out there at daylight you could have got a few good ones. But as soon as the sun broke over the trees it was over. Looks like the next several days are going to be rough, as the bp is going to get up over 30.6.Quote:

Nice fish.....did you finish out your limit after the sun came up....or did they all shut down.....
Nice mess Chris. I think the BP is more important than the moon phase. I like to look at both. Since I can only fish on the weekends I don't let it keep me home. Just lets me have something to blame it on when they don't bite
Nice fish there CJ.
I pick out a limit at the pond this am.
I only kept the five biggest. Threw the rest back, but probably could have came close to a limit.Quote:

I have an app that charts future and past pressures. I can go back to that chart after a day of fishing and see how it affected the fishing that day. On high pressure days, a slight drop can turn the fish on, when it levels out again they go back on lockdown. Same for extremely low pressure. They seem to respond well to a slight rise/fall, especially when it is extremely high or low. The ideal range (my opinion) is when it is between 29.9 and 30.12 and slightly rising or falling. Obviously, this situation is rare, but being aware of what the barometer is doing has helped me catch more fish. When it is super high, I look to deep brush, and when low, I look shallow.Quote:

Have you ever tracked how accurate the BP forecast is? I was under the impression that BP forecasts were almost impossible to make. This is the first BP forecast that I have seen. If this is fairly accurate I will be putting it on my phone tonight.
I have never checked it, but I will keep these pics and compare it in a few days to see how much it changes.Quote:

WeatherPro for Android. It is $3.99 The I phone version is free but didn't have the chart and prediction capabilities last time I checked.Quote:

Nice hold on the slabs (I assume they were over 8 inches).
Nice fish CMJ looks like you got the four fish hold down pretty good. Hope your enjoying that Ozark 10 footer.
I love it!!! I gotta be honest though, it took some getting used to. Its like holding a feather compared to all of my other jig poles. Even the slightest tap feels like a SLAM on this pole. Seems to be the perfect jig pole so far. Thanks a bunch.Quote:

Good job Chris...!
Yep. A couple of them were pushing 9". Dang Randall, why you giving up my Sand Bass honey hole? That info was supposed to be confidential. :RoflQuote:

Hahaha! The catchin is the easy part........that hold on the other hand, now that takes skill!!Quote:

Sometimes have to make enough educated guesses that one of them will nail it, LOL!
This seems to indicate Chris may be right. Crappie stacked low on the structure all the way to the bottom. Hmmmm...Maybe I should listen to slabman CMJ more often.

And for all you that are wondering, no, I didn't catch any, I was fishing too shallow. Old man in a blue jump suit fishing off the bank had a whole 5 gallon bucket full of fish and when he saw I didn't have any, gave me enough for supper.:biggrin
If i had longer arms, i think i could post some 3 to 4 pounders>
Here is a comparison from what the chart reads today as opposed to last week. It looks like the pressure is doing what was predicted, just about 12 hours ahead of schedule.

Very cool! Thanks for the update.
