I have been working my tail off and hadn't had a chance to take the boat out for a good while. Had a hunch I might get on a few fish out of jack millers. Took a friend of mine a little down on his luck and the good Lord blessed us with a very enjoyable trip. Some on shiners, most on jigs (red/chartreuse). They were in 6-8 ft of water. Big boy was 14"

great trip.....you havn't lost your touch........
You did well my friend. I like you have been too busy to fish but that will change shortly.

That's a good trip for sure
PS, I wasn't sure I had a clue how catch those sneaky fish anymore, but we got lucky and figured em out early.
Gene, no doubt a trip like that will have me tinkering on the edge of going back after them every spare minute I get...By the way, I was out there with my brand new 12' jigging rod trying to turn over a new leaf and learn how to tight line them, but they were wanting it under a slip cork for some reason. I did catch a handful on the tight line rig though, I guess it was a good start...
Jig poles work good with slip corks especially around stumps and tops.

Good catch! We like surf and turf! You keep hammering them and I'll supply les ecureuil!!!
Ecureuill, may cher, I could so'nuf eat a pot of them babies. All my hunting woods have been destroyed by saltwater, hurricanes, or are posted for deer hunting.

That's a nice catch.

You bet they do! Gotta guard the orchard with a pellet gun, that way the neighbors don't know you eating their "pets" hehe...
Do they eat figs, does a bear................. Last year I put 5 in the pot but even better than figs is, they love mulberry trees. Not so much the berries but the buds and the bark. They ruined my mulberry tree by girdling it in many places by stripping the bark off all around a branch and then finally the trunk. I must say they were tasty.

The bad thing is, for every one you take out, another shows up...
Of course, I guess that could be a good thing (for the pot)...:dono
Very nice!!!
May head back Friday morning, might come down with a "cold"...
