Bonne Idee Report 6/22 Fishin with the Mrs. and tryin to find me mojo......

Last couple trips out for me have been PIT-I-FUL When you've lost your mojo best thing to do is go back to the basics and find some familiar water where you know every log, tree top and stump in the water. Didn't have a great day but it was nice to see some fish in the box none the less. Got to spend the day fishin with Mrs. 20watt and put 17 fish in the box to boot. Threw back twice that many easily. Took a long while to find them, had one fish in box at 9:30 but kept searching/moving and hitting trees till we found some. Caught these bout 3 ft deep on the trees on my old faithful's, red/chartreuse and black/chartreuse with pink heads of course...

Heather took all the pics, so I give her credit for these. :-) She had about 200 to choose from. I stole a few for this thread before she could edit them.

Doing the bull dance... feeling the flow...working it... working it
way to get your mojo going
Thanks sharing

nice catch:cheers2 are you left handed?

No sir J.R. My dad is and my oldest child is, skipped me somehow. I've got a pole in each hand :)

Hey 20watt, I saw your post and it made me laugh, not the post, but the memories of all my family down there back in April fishing D'Arbonne. My son in law read how you picked your name, 20watt, and told the story to everybody. It got brought up for a laugh from time to time while we were there. Not bright enough to be a 100 watt, that's funny! Great report and pics by the way.

Glad I could provide a little camp fire humor. Funny how some things stick with you...
