Lake Greeson 3-18 thru 3-22-16

Caught some good crappie despite the rain and WIND!!!! Found some deep around 20ft and some on the banks. Most were in 8-12 fow. Caught most on Bobby Garland Cajun Crickets and Crappie Magnet Dude Specials.
Here's Perry with a big 2+ lb slab.

He did! He has become my "back me in" guy. He can back a boat trailer and spot it in just right......better than I can. I also let him drive the boat and he got a pretty good lesson in cleaning fish. We camped with my great friend, Perry, who pulled his camper to the lake and invited us all to come stay with him to camp and fish. My dad was there and so was my cousin, Randy. John's football coach even drove over from Mt. Ida to fish with us. He also got to experience a real campsite fish fry where the fish went literally from the live well to the plate within an hour. Can't get any more fresh than that! Dinner Saturday night was fried fish filets, fried potatoes, candied jalapeños, slices of purple onion, and sliced up red rind rat cheese. Them big bellies got full that night! :). GTT

Way to go GTT!!!! And man it sounds like yaw really know how to throw down a fish fry!!!!!! I will be making my way over there ASAP!

The wind made it very hard to fish past around 11 a.m. We got back out on the lake around 4 p.m. or so. Water temp WAS 61-62 degrees on Friday and Saturday, but had dropped to 55-58 degrees by Monday and Tuesday. Some fish were shallow and were caught casting, but most were caught vertical jigging over brush tops in 16-12 fow. We caught lots of scrapers that mostly got put back, but some went into the live on Saturday because that's the day we had planned our fish fry supper. It worked out well. I would rather eat smaller filets anyway.

I've seen your pics and you definitely know how to get it going too! Your son is gonna be a deadly crappie fisherman when he grows up too! Just wait until he's big enough to grab the keys and back you into the lake and then get behind the drivers seat and drive the boat. That time is here for me now. I'm so used to doing it myself, I gotta let go and let him do it. Kids are gonna grow up......

GTT I'm soooo ready for the help gathering equipment, help hooking up a boat, driving, backing, and the whole 9 yards! Your a lucky man and blessed with an awesome son it seems! Seems like yesterday I was having my first baby boy and now he will b 4 this year. Man where does time go???? I bet you feel the same, if not even more so. Go Tenn Titans! How old is your young man?

Like the way you hold your fish. Some have out stretched arms to make the fish much larger. Nice catch!!!!!

He's 16 and I've had him driving for a couple of years now. He thinks he's an old pro already. Dad gave him his 1990 GMC stepside and John has hit the streets in full vigor. You can hear him coming from a mile way......woofers bumping and tailpipes racking off, but he's safe. He's a good boy.

He was working at Sonic here in Camden until last week when his boss wouldn't let him off for a weight lifting meet at school. I asked him if he needed me to call his boss and he wouldn't let me......said he wanted to handle it himself. He went to the weight lifting meet and placed 3rd, then went to Sonic and quit (and probably told her off), then went for an interview at Brookshire's and was hired the next day. Can't keep a good man down!

You probably saw the football pics I posted last year, but here's another of him doing what he does best. He's an all around good ole country boy, but he is a dirty mean player on the football field. #79 in white. 2 year letterman already and just completed his 10th grade season last November.

I showed him how to hold em! :). GTT

Those are some beautiful fish and a fine looking young man. Great to have a partner that you trained isn't it? I bet that fish fry was beyond compare. Congrats on boating those big ole fish. I just need to catch about 6 like that.

Man he is a BIG OLE BOY! I bet a straight animal on the field! Seems like a good boy. I remember the loud radio days and glass packs. Funny how things change when ya get older. Very good he had his priorities in line with the job. Very important to not let work control ur life, especially when u got family. The is always other opportunities.
