Anybody night stalk Murray this time of year? I got to thinking after Friday's debacle trying to weave around all the striper guy's long lining
And the fact my boat is not really setup for pushing........I thought maybe a little night fishing could turn up some results and be less stressful...........
Just curious if there has been any success or if it's not worth the trouble......
I've never tried it this time of year. Tried a few times in the summer time with not much luck! The thought has crossed my mind to try it at night as well, but I've been too cozy in my easy chair on these cold nights :)
Thanks for the reply...............couple of day's with no replies I was thinkin it was a stupid question:Doh:
I still may go tomorrow night just to find out on my own....................
Never night fished Murray but it works on all the lakes I have nightstalked on in the winter. Don't see any reason to not try it. Good luck and look forward to reading your report.
Be and sure and let us know what you do with them? I'm awful close to trying then myself. Maybe next week. My dad's boat is tied up to the dock so it'd be real easy to try them for a few hours...
As long as you can stay warm! They will bite.
Thanks for the encouragement :biggrin..................My lovely bride was not happy about me going by myself, But I talked to my son earlier he say's he will go with me rather than go out on the town......... sooo thats a win win for ol pops!
You know you have a open invite to come up here and fish with us anytime. There is usually an open seat if Remus or Scooperdude are going. You won't have to drag a boat to enjoy the night air, if you can put up with a few clowns like Ofishlbizzness and me. SeaRay comes up sometimes and joins in with us. But he is brave. I hope you do good on your trip. Post a report and some picture. :popcorn
I surely appreciate the invite..........And Would love to take you up on the offer on a future stalk, Ya'll sound like you have just too much fun not to be a part of it!
Heck ya'll might even look at me as NEW entertainment......:Rofl
Good Luck Midcarolina! What ramp are you thinking?
I'm thinking #3......... If the river is too stained I can go back down a bit to a couple spots............
You can call Richard at Lake World and he can probably tell you if it's still muddy up that way. Heck he may tell you a spot or 2 you can try. He's a super nice guy.
You know that's a good idea...............The more information the better.
Yea i bought my spoons from him the other day for perch fishing. He's got a good selection.
I stopped at a couple places today looking for spoons.........Thanks for the heads up.
Have all your ducks in a row! Murray is a desolate place after sundown. I used to night fish (striper) there a lot, you hardly ever see another boat.
You can count on that as the given. But I know I would not indulge in that lowly routine to a new guest. Not hardly anyway!:Rofl:biggrin

Night stalk was cancelled........... My son Wanted to go out with a young lady instead of freezing on the lake with me..imagine that!:dono So headed out tomorrow and see what I can find.
you know how to fall off a pontoon in 35 degree heat? or flip a seat up and fall on and break a rib or two? or do a big belly flop dive off a high bob chair and tear up a mans toon that was nice enough to let you fish with him? we even had a man to let a 2 1/2 lb perch flip out of his hand and back in water :dono is that weight right Ray? :biggrin or was that 2 3/4 :Rofl fishfinder8 knows he saw the scales on em :popcorn you gota beat all that for your entertainment to be new :Rofl :Rofl just pickin on ya come on over and join us whenever you can if you cant show us something new maybe one of us can do a rerun but I hope its not me and the rib trick nononoQuote:

Hey Midcarolina did you happen to talk to Richard today? Just wondering if you did if you got a report on the water conditions? Thinking about going to my buddies house around SC tomorrow.
Well, I am feeling very dejected.....went yesterday
And struck out on the Crappie.I am having a tough time figuring
Them out.
Start at the big gap and work you way up in to the river , brush piles in 18 or more feet deep . They were there before the rain last week. Check around deep docks, too. I hadn't caught no real big ones this year, but there are plenty 8 to 11 inches, I vertical jig or shoot docks. Let me know what the water looks like up in the river, I hadn't been this week.Quote:
