So you think you can catch'em!

Well my partners and I went back to the scene of the crime (November three day catch of 180 crappie). On the way out of the launching ramp passed by Mickey and said hi....heading down here a ways to catch us 4 limits...when we get on them I'll give you a call.....ok arrogant is unbecoming....Well 45 minutes later....10 breakoffs in the gill nets across our honey hole....and the phone rings.....Mickey says hey...I have 4 in the boat...8 ft deep...18 ft water...........30 minutes later...phone rings....hey just put my 12th in the boat....when are you coming back up here.........30 minutes later I pull up the rods and head back to him....he is landing number 16....

We ease around for a few minutes and he says...them minnows aren't working to well.....ease over here and I'll give you something to tie on...........so we change out 8 lines with Mickey's tackle.....and start catching a fish here or there.....

He finishes his limit.....pulls off to the side and says boys it all yours....enjoy the rest of the day.....

Well we catch 6 more in the next 40 minutes or so....and bam...nothing.

Lessons learned. 1) Park your arrogant attitude at the house. 2) When the phone rings....do what the man tells you to do....he is catching fish you aren't. 3) Again.....cc.com folks will try to help you whenever they can.....if it don't work....look in the mirror for the PROBLEM.

Mickey, thanks for trying....you are a true gentleman.

Great story. Sounds like Mickey was trying to help a fellar out ... A fella just has to listen every once in awhile

Well said!!!

Maybe next time you can return the favor. Besides no matter how good a fisherman or how confident of a fisherman you are. The fish can and will humble you from time to time.:twocents

Yup I heard the story Paul. I told mick u would return the favor lol

if a man calls me and tells me their bittin, where and how deep im gone, monkey see monkey do!!!!

There nothing like someone baiting your hook:biggrin

Great story, enjoyed it!

Good stuff

As I alway say, IN ROME DO WANT THE ROMANS DO! !!

Four things happen after about 30 minutes of fishing a buddy's hot tip and it aint working out. A. You think they quit bitting or they moved, B. You think maybe they want something else, C. You cell Phone your buddy to make sure your in the right spot and confirm what he said, and D. Your start to think maybe your buddy isn't the buddy you thought he was after all. LOL

I always think I'm not as good a fisherman as my buddy, and 99% of the time, I'm Right!!!!!! :-)

I've sat next to Meatgetter and watched him pull em out one after the other, and with the same bait, same depth, same kinda pole, sitting my bait right next to his, and trying to copy what he did, Never Get a Bite!!!!

Ole Mickey and his wife are some good people. When he says jump you say how high.

Amen
