I have a new found respect for those of you with normal 9 to 5's that only get to fish weekends. Between the wind, 743 boats on the river, and jack knifed trailers on the boat ramp I had to call it quits.

Sounds like a bad morning, I never fish Saturdays.
Saturday is about the only day I get to fish.... Sunday once in a while.
I am a Saturday fisherman as well. It is very frustrating to deal with, but it is what t is. I think the single pole jig fisherman will be on the endangered species list soon. I have never seen so many trollers in my life. How do they troll in shallow water areas where there are stumps everywhere?
We will never go away lol. I watched several guys trolling thru stake beds today and is fun to watch.
It takes time and experience, just like any other form of fishing. I can troll through areas that, on my depth finder, looks like a giant hair brush laying on the bottom.Quote:

Stay at home or fish private lakes on the weekends, fish public during the week. However......these days seems as if nobody works anymore.Quote:

I hate saturday fishing also especially if ur catching fish, need not worry so much about getting hung up on the stumps as much as trying to keep ur poles out of someone elses poles that wants to fish the exact same spot you caught a fish:bash
15 20 years ago you never would see but 4 or 5 boats on the river in a day of fishing now that has all changed just shows you how the sport of crappie fishing has grown
Not Sardis Wind Knot, Enid.
