GREAT GOOGABALOOGA SNAKE RIVER

Today was an awesome time to go fishing on Lake Purdy near Birmingham. The sky was overcast with rain expected later and the temperature was in the mid seventies. We were long line trolling your shad stinger with some Garlic sauce sprayed on it.

The bite was on. We boated 24 Spotted Bass and 63 keeper Crappie. 28 were thrown back because they were undersized.

We had sent a few of the lures to a friend of ours to sample. He was going to the Mississippi Gulf area yesterday. He reported that he had about 15 Sheepshead and several Redfish. This is the photo he sent us.

You can be proud of this bait in the color combination you sent me. Slap or spray some Garlic on it and throw it in the lake. Be sure you have your fishing line firmly attached or put your jighead on a hook snap. You will get bit. The results speak for itself.

Thank you Mike you did awesome job on the fish

You are part of keeping this site alive Jumping Jacks Icon

as I know it's not just luck

billygee :rolleyes:

Billy is right you been a expiration to this website for many years on which looked up to you Mike for ideals you have been there for me and I appreciate that very much and I know many of the other guys like to read your post and your information that you passed on over the years I consider you to be the number one promoter of this website and to all the thousands of people that have read your post over the years keep up the good work my I always look foreword in reading your post.

bob.

Thank you Bob and "G" for your kind words and inspiration. I apologize to my friends on this site. I was in a dark place yesterday as a young man I knew blew his brains out because no matter how hard he tried at school it seemed no one cared if he lived or died so he chose the latter.

Everyone needs encouragement and wants to feel valued every once in a while. The other day was his funeral and I had to preach it. That situation just got to me....that's all. If I offended anyone by the anger I still felt then forgive me. I am human just like you and wanted to share dental floss and garlic as a winning combination for those not having luck catching Crappie.

Just so everyone knows, those stats are garbage. Those 78 views coulda been lurkers (non-members) that are not logged so they could not reply even if they tried. They could have even been bots, who knows.

And so, so sorry to hear about the young man. That is absolutely terrible. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and family. Stay strong Ship.

OK, here are the real stats.

As of right at this moment it says there have been 403 views, and I know for fact that only 49 actual "logged in" members have viewed this thread. So there's the real data I looked up in the thread stats that only I can see as the ADMINISTRATOR of the site.

Want to make some of those, catch some of those, eat some of those. Thanks for posting.--shu

Yep and a lot of those 49 read it after Mike replied....was less than that at the time. The inspector knows. Site traffic is slower this time of year even more so on Good Friday and Easter weekend.
