Well, I snuk back ..........

Decided to sneak back to Harney and try out my "new spot/spots" .....
Hmmmmph, got one med, bout five little fellers ...
Decided to head to my hole where I could at least get some good size fish.
Got a few then bite slacked off, decided to just troll around the lake a looking .......

Took SkeetBum's hint and tried three beetlespins (white grub/pumpkin grub/chartruse grub,
the pumpkin grub never did nothing all day but my two pumpkin tube jigs did good.
Caught a few on the white grub beetlespin (and white tube jig).
Kept expecting the chartuse beetlespin to knock em dead, but never did nothing .....till .....
Half way across the lake the chartuse beetlespin hooked up, brought in a boss 14"r ....
Only one that thing caught all day .......
Finally wound up with 17, called it a day................

Got friend and his brother here (Titusville) from England, they want to catch some redfish so,
will be taking them out Wednesday (weather permitting).

Oh ! ! ! Computer is getting real bad about not wanting to come on when I push "ON" button.
Typical BS stuff with "start circuits" instead of just applying power to the system ....
So, if ya don't hear from me, I'll probably be down and out till I get er fixed ..........

Have a nice day,
Danny

Hey now ! ! ! !
I'm game ! ! ! !

I got a friend that used to have a gheenue with a big 50hp Mercury on it, that thing looked like the motor was about to sink the back
of the boat, but when he cranked on her = watch out, it'd fly ...........

OH ! ! ! !
You wasn't supposed let anybody know we was fishin together ! ! !
Now they'll for sure be following us around the lake ..........
But, that's OK, that's OK, we'll still win .............

Nice job Danny! Couple years ago I had 1 color combination on Monroe that caught very few fish a trip. But the ones it did catcb were just mean and nasty old fish. Has not happened since that year but always got it on 1of em every trip to this day.

Speckanator I will buy the gas and throw in a hundred bucks to watch you wind that ole vrod up to 6500rpm and make 2 laps round Harney. But I pay when you walk back on dry land! And I will even let ya put Phantom on the bow for ballast.

Danny, you must have found the marker I put on the fish , I threw a banana peel out...........just for you.......

Good bunch of fish ya got there Danny, Glad I could offer a hint . Monroe looked good about 3 today when I was headed home with lots of cloud cover. That either means they feed like crazy or send ya home with a bloody nose. Glad you had fun.
My brother and I had lots of small boats with what we thought were big motors on them back in the early 80's. Had a 12' Jon with a '56 - 18hp Johnson that almost took both hands to pull start. That thing would scream but wouldn't turn. At about 15* it just kept going straight. Made quick maneuvers out of the question. Cypress Gardens and Sea World used an 8' tunnel boat called a Flivver(two V's) that was made for 10 hp or less. 20 hp made them scream and there was a guy on the Butler chain that had a 40hp Merc and a steering setup that let him move the weight forward. I would NOT have tried to drive that one, but it was fun to watch outrun Mom and Dads bowriders. My current boat is as experimental as I care to get anymore.

Nice mess Danny :ThumbsUp

Your the man Danny, nice mess of fish.

Good deal Dan........goin' to have to keep a eye on that Skeetbum.......he fished Harney for only a few hours & figured out the Beetle spin trick....what a fisherman.....Must be he..

Just old tricks revisited.

Tx's guys, I'm down and out = computer blew out = guy at computer shop said $600.00 to fix = I told him where to put it ......
Am down at step daughter's house on her computer (looking to purchase a new one (don't ask) ..........
Dog cost $500.00 (sick shakes = ???), water pump went out on boat === what next ??????????
Will be at Harney Sat = I predict Speckanator will win ! ! ! ! ! !

Hope you get all sorted out Danny. Your having a tough run lately. See you Saturday.

Been there on the computer Dan. Went to one that was recommended in TN and he wanted as much as a new laptop would be, then told me I could leave it there, there was nothing I could do with it. Went to a friend of a friend with a bunch of background in I T in the Air Force and he had me up and running for $50. I don't trust the computer shop techs for love or money. Good luck getting the rig up to Saturday, Seems to come in bunches, hope the end of it is near.
