Cypress 10-29-16

Managed to scratch out a mess on Saturday at Cypress. I almost always take shiners because I don't trust my skill with jigs, but a red/chart and the grey ghost took care of me. With 4 poles in the water and a variety of jigs, I caught everything on those two. Fishing in 17-25 ft of water from 15-20 ft down. Great day and I enjoyed running into a few of the fine CDC folks that I haven't seen in a while. :)

I got a chuckle out of this...a young boy fishing with his dad was overheard asking, "Dad how to crappie poop?" :Rofl LOL!!! Dad said, same way you do. hahaha Too funny.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I'm headed out of town for a week, and slammed at work, so the next couple of weeks before the gathering should fly by for me. :biggrin

It was a slow weekend. I fished out there Friday from 8:45-5:00 and only managed to bring home 20 keepers. Threw back more dinks than that and a pretty good mess of channel cats. Probably in the same area you were. I caught most in and around the channel close to the dam. I fished it today from 7:30-1:00. Had 7 good fish and two medium keepers. Threw back 3 dinks and no cats. Lost a few good ones and several keepers. I threw in the towel when a stump ran all the line off one pole and took my crankbait. Theygotaeat was doing better than me, but around 11:30 only had what he usually has by 8:30 on most days. Overheard someone else jig fishing say they had 20 today. It might be time to spider rig over some tops I found.

I met Greg at the launch and saw him pull in quite a few yesterday, but no idea how he ended up. What I saw him catch were all good sized though. I was only there from about 7 to noon when the wind kicked up and I had other stuff to do anyway so I left. I was happy with what I caught though. Think I might have done better with shiners though. Never caught the first catfish.

We went out Saturday from 7 until noon. Kept 7 nice ones, threw back about a dozen dinks. We were in a 20' tan and blue pro gator.

I'm in a gray Tracker and have been trolling six to eight rods out of the front. If you see me out there, introduce yourself.

BR, keep your eyes out for a red tracker with four to eight rods off the front. That'll probably be me, so come say hello. I mostly fish on weekdays.

Greg, I've got one similar to that on my phone, but just a little later than yours. Beautiful day out there.

I appreciate all the boat descriptions and would enjoy meeting everyone, but to be honest, I won't remember by the time I'm able to get out there again. I'm in a red/silver Progator sticksteer though. I think we all just need to get CDC flags on little poles and mount them to the boats when we head out. Much easier than wracking my brain to remember a post about colors. LOL :) I know Slab has logo stickers, but my eyes aren't good enough to see them unless I'm sitting on your doorstep.

That may help. I keep getting funny looks and/or cussed out when I bump into someone's stern and ask if they're from CDC. Couldn't do that to Greg. He looks like a friggin porcupine from the back.

I lost all my line and a crank in front of one, but didn't snag any. That must have been what those guys were talking about. I warned them that I had about 200ft of line floating around there while they were running them. I was trying to keep them from ending up with a fouled prop. One said "we know. We're straight down so you should be ok." I said "No, I lost all my line off a rod there." He said "Yeah, we lost one down there too" I just laughed and thought, ok. Your prop, your problem now. I'm outta here. They really picked a terrible spot to completely obstruct.

Yeah how long was their line of jugs had to be a mile or more. I have some prerecorded routes that I like to run and just didn't think about the jugs til it was too late

LOL...didn't have anything else handy to sit there for a size comparison. Figured everyone knows about how long a brick is. :)
