A friend and I are going to try pulling cranks Thursday early. Will be coming out of Jackson, MS. Want to go to Grenada, Enid, or Okatibbee. Wind is predicted to be S OR SSW 5-10 and closer to 10 after 9am. If fishing grenada going to be in the skuna area. Looks like that wind might blow right in that area. Recon it would be worth the trip? Not fishing for keepers per se just want to catch fish. I know okatibbee would be ok early.
Any and all suggestions appreciated
Will be on Nader myself
CrappieJim. One of my fishing partners caught 85 and kept 17 at Enid yesterday from daylight until 12:30.

Haven't given up. Just want to try other places. I haven't been able to find any fish in Barnett at any consistent depth or water level. We fished it in the S curve and near 43 bridge yesterday and caught one drum

I pulled my pontoon boat all the way up to Enid last friday, set up my tent( with air conditioner), went out for a little while friday afternoon down close to Long Branch but didn't get a bite. Started trolling Saturday morning about 8, just managed to get all 8 rods out and motor started to stall. Couldn't make it idle right so I packed it up and pulled it back to Pearl . Managed 1 dink......
Against my better judgement I went up the lake from Cossar Park and set rods out close to where Long Branch creek meets the river. Nobody was out there. There were a number of boats out from the mouth of Bean Creek to the levee. I should have gone there instead I guess....

A friend cut a hole and made a chute with drawstring for an ac unit.
A friend cut a hole in the tent and duct taped foam around the ac unit.
A friend taped some flashing to the front of an ac unit. Formed it to fit a 4" dryer hose. Tied the end to the vented frame area in the top of the tent before placing the weather cover over it. Reformed the flashing for 2 hoses for 2 tents.
I've seen ac units sitting in the doorway of tents. The air has to pass through the screen and the weather flap has to stay open.
I've seen some of the newer tents made for an ac unit with elastic closer.
All of the ac units were placed on milk crates or small tables. All of the tents had a tarp over them to hold the cool in better.
You could hang meat in that tent I bet! :RoflQuote:

no different than a pop-up.
AC works great at night . In daytime in sunshine it's not so great. I set my tent up facing either N or S. After I get tent set up I lay a tarp over the tent to help cover the screen air vent in the roof and the air gaps around the side windows. Seal it up as best as possible. Then I take a big tarp (mine's maybe 12 X 20ft)and throw it over the tent , use a couple of adjustable poles , one in front, one in back to lift the tarp just above the tent and stake down the long sides east and west to make an A frame type shade to keep the sun off the tent all day.
The front of the AC unit MUST be inside the tent to draw the humidity from inside. You cannot sit the unit outside and run a ducted hose from the cold air disharge into the tent. It won't remove the humidity. Also the tent, unlike a house, won't hold the cold when you open the door to go in and out. In the daytime it is fine to go in and take a nap, provided you go in and stay in but a simple door opening loses all the cool dry air and it takes a few minutes to recover. Just my 2 cents worth on the subject....Happy Fishin, Fred
