Another Lake Monroe slabfest is the books. It was great to have phantom309 back with us and a few folks from as far away as Michigan.

"Dar" from the Michigan forum joined us and it was a pleasure to meet and talk with you.

Leapinlineman also joined us and meeting you was a pleasure as well.

Inman59 and crawfish from way south of here made up and it was great to see you guys again. We know you don't make it often because of the distance but you're always welcome.

Crappieslayer and squirrelman.....I don't think I met you but I know you were on the sign up page and if you were there thanks for coming and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you...and then again maybe I did meet you....busy time!

As usual I'm sure I forgot somebody.

It was like a July day...HOT... the bite was good but they seemed to be on the smaller side. All week the prefishing indicated we were gonna have some monster weights but the fish had a different plan. Food food food food and plenty of it....fish, wings, shrimp, all the extras and on top of that dessert too. It was great to see everyone!!:cheers2

And to everyone, especially the girls, who helped put on the foodstuffs = thank you for your efforts for sure........
Was nice seeing everyone, was a good time, cept for that dad-gummed sun = got pretty hot out there (think it got to my partner) ......
Special Tx's to Crappyday, will let you know when we get some shrimping action over this way, etc, etc ......

A big round of :HandsClapping :HandsClapping :HandsClapping for the cooks and helpers. Really good to see everyone for the start of a new season. I fished all summer long and yesterday was the hottest that I got. Sure glad it was a 1:00 weigh in and not 3:00. Looking forward to seeing everyone next month. John, no need to be sorry, crappie happens.

Don't give up long lining. Just fine tune it. I know for sure that the top 2 places were long lining. Can't remember if Stu was or not.

That figures, the attachment wouldn't even open. How are the 16's working out. I guess pretty good by the catch you had yesterday.

Thanks for letting me and my brother-in-law join in on the fun, food and festivities. We both had a great time and appreciated all of the sharing of information and knowledge of the area. The food was great and I really appreciate all of the hard work everyone put in to pull it all together. It was good to put faces with the names on the forum. You all have good thing going on and I hope that I can join in again in the future.

Another great gathering! And as always a BIG THANK YOU to our chapters Hearts and Souls, Speckanator / Mike, John, and Susan. Your constant efforts and devotion are deeply appreciated.

Great conditions, Good bite, Great folks, Great food, it was pretty much a picture perfect event :) Looking forward to the next one!

I pretty much caught most of my fish (30-35) in the deeper water a few hundred yards off the shoreline. Caught most of my fish pushing 2 inch curlytails, but also had poles out back long lining with lesser results prob due to the deeper water and being too lazy to add weight. I was completely relaxed and soaking it all in, remembering exactly why I love this type of fishing.

It was awesome to see the bellys on these younger fish. I think its going to be a great season on Monroe this year :)

Thanks again folks for the smiles and friendship................ It was a blessed day for sure! :highfive :ThumbsUp

Y'all have got the fat fish down there. Our Tourney yesterday's winner weighed 7 fish at around 6 1/2lbs. And we like to have froze before the sun got to work. Looks like a good time was had by all.
