We caught our supper this afternoon.

Linda and I decided to sleep it this morning and fish this afternoon. I had a nice surprise on our way out as I stopped for gas. A gentleman pull up next to me while I was pumping and asked me if I had been sac-au-lat fishing. I told him no that I was on my way to go catch some. He then asked me if I was PawPaw "gene". I told him yes but how did he know. He said he recognized me from pictures on line as he is a member from Metairie but works in Houma 1 day a week. His handle is Mr. Breezy. I recall having conversation with him. He said he was having a lot of trouble with pictures and hadn't been posting. He also said that we were a great group of people and loved the way we shared we each other. He also said that he would be posting again.

So after that pleasant meeting we were off. The boat ride was nice but once we stopped it was hot for a while but clouds came and went and a breeze kicked up. That made it very nice. It was slow going for a while but then one top yielded 2 sacs for Linda. I little latter I picked up a nice bass and had one come off. We moved on down the canal and found another top the gave up 3 sac to me. Evening was coming on and I figured the bite would get better as it got later but Linda had enough. So home we went. I had some chores to do anyway before dark. We caught them all on a white tube jig, not sure what brand but it works nicely in the water. The only problem is that it is a hollow tube and it doesn't take many bites to destroy it.

At the landing as I went get the truck, I saw a gent working on his trailer. I asked him if he needed something or some help and he told me that he was just upgrading his bunks. I little chit-chat later I found out that he was one of Bobfish11's buddies the "Deuce". We had met before on the water but I didn't recognize him. He let me know that Bob was at the Point again and doing well. I hope he reports later.

Nice supper there PPG....whenever you decide to upgrade that fillet knife you are gonna hate yourself for not doing it sooner....been there, done that...I actually enjoy cleaning fish now....cleaned 13 the other night in 16 minutes.....

Mo Slab, I've used the superglue trick often but my problem with it is that it get hard in the tubes or evaporates. What's the glue with a brush you talk about.
Thanks,

That is a nice little mess ya'll kept for supper. Congratulations! Tell Mrs. Linda hello for me.

Nice mess paw paw! And I believe the glue Marty is talking about is still super glue but it comes with a brush on the end for application.

Paw Paw Gene is was great to meet you Thursday. Always enjoy your fishing reports and now will enjoy them even more.
Im going to try Tchefuncta River tomorrow. Fishing off an ole boat dock that I fish pretty often. Behind the golf course, rumor has it that dock has been there about 45 years. Water has been really stained last few weeks, not catching many.
if I get some tomorrow I will take pics and try to figure this out (posting them )
God Bess you

Hello Mr. Breeze and welcome back to the site. I wish you luck tomorrow, some of them old docks can really pay off. Be sure to try and find the sweet spot on that particular dock. It might be at one end or the other, or deep underneath where nobody fishes. Poke every nook and cranny and when you catch a fish just remember where because there might be a dozen there. Also next time you go the fish will probably be in the same area because something under there is drawing the fish to that location. I learned that from JR while fishing the funky river. We came upon an old long dock, he told me we would fish it but won't catch anything until we get to a certain spot on it. True to his words the fish were exactly where he said they would be.

It was great meeting you face to face,
"gene"

Nice ones
