Oconee Tuesday Report 12/15/15

Kowboy and my oldest son Wes fished with me today. We started at 7:45 and quit at 3:00 p.m. We quit early since Wes had to drive home to Brunswick, Ga. tonight. The bite was on from the beginning and was steady all day. It was a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky. The water temperature was 56 degrees when we started and got up to 60 degrees. We kept 51 fine fish. The following jigs worked well today: Bobby Garland Cajun Cricket Slab Slayer and John Deere and Popsicle curly tails. Kowboy pushed out of the front and Wes long lined out of the back. We rigged several of the long lines with 1/16 doubles. The best fishing seemed to be in 20-25 FOW. Curtis if you read this I did not know you were in the boat behind us until Spiderman called me. I was going to speak to you when we turned around but we got into some fish and never turned around. It was a great day on the water. In the pictures Wes is holding the two 14 inch fish he caught and Kowboy is holding his 14 incher. I did a great job with the net and running the trolling motor.

Great catch guys. Good thing yall had to leave early. If you stayed any later yall might have sunk the boat.:Rofl

I started to call and ask if you had any extra room in your live well. :ThumbsUp

I was wondering who that was catching all those fish. We did good when we found Spiderman and the fish. Spiderman needs a swivel on his neck to keep up with all those rods. Wonderful day to be on the water......we wound up keeping about 45 for our next fish fry.

Did not take many pics today but did capture the big Gar that delayed our fishing by 10 minutes. We had several reasons to go today. 1. The weather was perfect 2. Last chance for us this week. 3. Cindy ( the dog wanted to go) 4. Carried Litewirehooks to Oconee Outdoors

Thanks Jonathan. It has been an unbelievable fall. I hope to see you on the water soon.

Great report. Nice pix. I like the spotless looking one. You are in the BG contest. Just a few more days until it ends. :santa

Good to see you on the water lightwire. We had a off day. We ended the day with 35. They were all in the 1lb range.

This was a wonderful day on the water seeing Hooker, Mike Hardy , J & Jim and everyone else and the phone calls from friends from the forum left me in high spirits.Good fishing you guys put on J as well Hooker...wow what a day:notworthy

My good fishing Buddy Hotwater did a fantastic guide job yesterday. There are not many days I get to sit in the boat and do nothing but haul in fish. Great day on the water and a fine mess of fish

Good to see fishermen on the lake. Big thanks to spiderman for the phone call. We were debating on 2 places and when we got the call......that made our mind up. Here is some of the good fish we had yesterday. Hope to recognize all the boats one day.

Curtis this is how you can recognize Jim and I:

1) My boat is a G3 Eagle Black and Tan with Yamaha on the back.
2) Don't look for a fishing net stuck up in the air like a mast. We keep ours hid.
3) One of us is always standing up in the boat taking a ....
4) If you get close enough to see our eyes you will notice that we both look like we are in trance. We never sleep.

If you see us give us a shout. "We're confederates but we ain't hostile". (I heard that line in a movie one time, maybe it was "The Horse Soldiers" with John Wayne).:dono
