The Grove has been stingy to us lately.

Today did a short trip getting ready for tomorrows trip with Pbouy. Didn't do well but the wind didn't help any. It was blowing 17 mph when we quit. I met a good ol boy that clued me in to what he was catching them on and where. I'll give it a try tomorrow. Today he had around 15 but two days earlier this week the almost limited out. The strong south and east winds have stopped the water from dropping today I hope it slackens tomorrow so that the water will start falling out the marsh.

Looks like a family meal or a lovers feast to me, Mr Gene.
Good haul.
Hope you n P get on'em tomor n avoid the winds.

Your off your game for sure Paw Paw "gene "

Good luck to yall in the am !

Nice catch. Yes the wind has been making the fishing tough.

17 mph may have had them swirling around like a toilet and couldn't get to your hook! :) At least that's what I tell myself when I don't catch somethin... lol

Thanks for the support, but no excuses needed. A fact is just that, a fact. Something has changed and I haven't a clue. So I guess I need to change too, but to what?

I had the SUPREME pleasure of occupying the back seat of PPG's boat today and to say that I got an education is an understatement! I think I can now navigate the Orange Grove without a map or GPS. And the man knows everybody!!! We didn't see a stranger, except the two ladies who were lost.
It was a long ride to get there but it was certainly worth it. Not only did I get the education, but I got to finally meet face-to-face and spend the day with one of the smartest fishermen I've met in a while. And I don't think there's a nicer or more giving fisherman anywhere. At least I haven't met them yet.
Thanks for a memorable day Paw-Paw and I look forward to repaying you when the spillway decides to finally get right.

:scratchhead Who is he talking about.

Paul after talking to you for the last couple of years it was my pleasure to finally meet you face to face. As for as education goes, I'm still learning from the school of hard knocks and this spring is showing that. Boy it's been a hard nut to crack. I know that there are plenty fish there as evidence by Cleve's catches this week. Our techniques the same, the lures the same and the location the same. But our catching isn't. Who know? Not me.

ps: maybe a new hat will do it.

Pbouy you right you don't run cross dudes like PPG to often you u right he knows everybody but that's my buddy tho u can't ask for a better fellow the only thing I say I think he losing his fishing touch because Ms Linda out fishing him all the time then he let a rookie do him in but maybe that was just beginners luck lol

Got up, drank my mandatory 2 cups of coffee and started to get dress for the day. All was well until I grabbed my hat. It wouldn't fit any more, it was too tight. Did my head swell up last night. Linda said it had to after all that Pbouy wrote. Ha, time for a new hat. So next time y'all see me look good in case you don't recognize me with a different hat. I've got a brand new shiny one picked out. May it bring back my mojo.

Heck, PPG, if the boards in the second fish-pic are 2x12's, then those are really nice fish!! :Rofl

Pete and if they are 5 inches it's a true story.
