For everyone who likes to grumble about the crowds of yanks at our lakes

This is why, Attachment 154757Attachment 154758 apparently this is what they call tournament fish. They drew a pretty good crowd tooAttachment 154759. We are fortunate enough to live in a place that grows monster fish. The next time you are at one of our lakes and a guy who just drove 700 miles walks up and asks a few questions, take a minute to help him out. You don't have to give him any honey hole coordinates, just point them in the right direction. Remember, it's a two way street, most of our bait shops and fishing related businesses couldn't make it without them.

Poor baby fish :) well up north those may be a couple of years old :)

Trace /Davis LOOK-A-LIKES .:biggrin

Locals don't spend much money compared to non-locals, no where near.

Whew had me worried!

Thanks Feesh for sticking up for us Yank Gubers

And I'll tell you another thing. You can put this in the bank._ _ _ _ _ _ Dang, forgot what I was going to say.

Good post Chris!! I agree with you 100%.

Had a cousin that owned a sportings good store one time...every time someone came in to ask what the fish were hitting on,,he would walk them over to the artificial bait section and show them what he had the most of, in stock..and they would buy a pocket full of it and take fishing. Least yas, can do for us Yank gewbers is steer us to those small fish we all love to catch,,and steer us to buying that kind of bait off your local bait shops to help keep them going. :Rofl j/k It'll keep us coming south to fish. :)

A wise man name Pstone once told me that anyone north of Batesville was a Yankee.:biggrin

Them there are dinks some also call them tater chips up here. My family and i will be done soon to catch some real crappie

Good post

We've been down here since Nov. It's a 950 Mi. one way trip. Were staying at the State Park (Kyle) paying lot rent buying Groc. diesel fuel, fishing equipment, etc. Can't begin to tell you the cost of it all, but were having fun. Everyone down here has treated us great and we've made some new friends for life. You can't put a price on a friendship, but the dang Crappie are expensive.

So where is that line at? Surely it is North of Iowa? :dono

Every time I've been down South - I've been treated extremely well. I lived in Texas for a short spell, those were incredible people.

When people come up here from the deep South to deer hunt or duck hunt, we welcome them - always a good time to be had.

United we stand - divided we fall! Nice post!

I think the line is along the Canadian border.

Americans---we ALL are!!!

Yank---What you do when a crappie (Fish) hits.

Rebel---Oppose the Obama administration.

Mason-Dixon Line---Somewhere SOUTH of the Canadian border!!!

FISH ON!!!!

Y'all come back now ya hear!!! $$$$ :)

Even though I'm from above the Mason-Dixon Line,,,We don't consider ourselves yanks! Folks from around Plymouth consider themselves Pilgrims or perhaps chowda chompa's thank you. Lol:fish:biggrin:fish:fish

At least you're SOUTH of the Canadian Border!!! ;)

Came down there from Iowa and fished Sardis and Enid the last two springs. No worries about this Yank taking all yer fish home, but my boy liked it enuf that when he graduated from college he got a job in Grenada. Coming this weekend to do a little fishing with him. Does that make me a little less Yankified?

Not quite, you are a good yank, "you came and then went home". Your son however is a damned yank, " he stayed". Neither of you can improve in status until he marries a southern belle, and that union produces chil'ren. At that time, he will be allowed to come to his brother-in-laws deer camp during the Christmas holidays, and you are allowed an in-laws extended stay of 6 weeks during the crappie spawn. That's about as good as it gets. Lol

Someone put me on the list to catch some Mississippi fish. Just PM when a parking place comes open at one of the ramps. Those fish weren't huge, but they did have pretty color.
