Well must be spring break again. Parks are filling up with city slickers . Just like usual water falling , wind blowing, and rain forecasted for tomarrow. Drove through the parks and saw lots of rigs at the landings. Fish cleaning stations did not appear crowded. Good luck to everyone who braves the conditions and crowds.
Talked to a buddy today and he said there is not an open camp site at big D
I saw things starting to get bad yesterday before I came home.....
I manage 3 crappie in 3 days....
I know the fish were there just could do anything with them..... Ran into several "older" fellows at C.Barrel & one of them asked me where I was catching fish..... I thought it was a trick question, so I returned it with the same question....
He denied catching any.... I think it was all a trick!!!!! I seen their boats & "that" look in their eyes.....
they knew what they was doing..... I'M SURE OF IT!!!!!
I'm suspecting the blue jumpsuit mafia is involved. The only fishing tip you'll get is when those guys are wearing the long sleeve blue jumpsuit, the fish are deep. If they wear the short sleeved blue jumpsuit, the fish are shallow. I bet a fellow would have got a hernia lifting their cooler out of the boat.Quote:

I guess I'm gonna have to go get me some coveralls too....Quote:

Some of us just have too many hobbies and only chase when the chasing is best to maximize our time and success rate...them deer, hogs and ducks aren't just gonna shoot themselves!
where does one actually purchase a blue jumpsuit. asking for a friend
" city slickers" love to fish too! lol!!!! take it easy on them fellers!!!
The wife, kids and I might be joining everyone this weekend or next at Nimrod? Haven't ever camped there.
At your local discount store, farm supply or Salvation Army thrift store...... :biggrinQuote:

Seven cousins & friends (including myself) had planned to stay all week at Kirby Marina Motel and fish & relax. Fish aren't cooperating and neither is the wind and weather. Water temps 55 degrees or so. Catching 4 to as most as 12 per day. When you get one, chances are he's gonna be a good one. One cousin caught a 2 lb 7 oz and another cousin caught a 2 lb 4 oz. Both were females full of eggs. Some are in as deep as 20 feet of water and some are in about 10-12 feet and still a few are on the banks already. Some are biting pink minnows and others have hit Bobby Garland cajun crickets.
I have had enough of the slow fishing and wind. I also have had enough of the 4 college kids partying next door until after 2 a.m. Not being ones to complain to management, we just make sure we make lots of 5:30 a.m. breakfast noise to get them back a little :)
We iced our fish as we came in over the weekend and cleaned about 40 or so all at one time. Man, did the kids start showing up. Then their folks started showing up. Lots of greenhorns. You know though, I went to Canada a few years back and I did not have a clue about muskies and smallmouth bass. I was the greenhorn there and they picked me out as a southerner right away, eh.
Four of our party are still there at Kirby, but my son and I came home. Too slow for him. I think I may hit our gravel pit farm ponds tomorrow. I'll bet he'll have a blast there catching little ones. That's really what's important anyway. Good luck to you all and everyone enjoy this week of Spring Break, even the A-state college kids in room 8 at Kirby Motel! GTT
