Gonna be out on Monroe Saturday morning with my wife. Hoping to be at Lake Monroe park at gate opening. Who else heading out?
Thinking on it......
Load the boat Mike, have an opportunity fish tomorrow, hope it = less traffic, however, last weekend's traffic wasn't bad at all:popcorn:dono
I'm in the midst of repainting and rehabbing the lund and getting set up for crappies. Need to fire the minitoon over and give it a wash down and such. Will hope to make it over that way in the next month or so.
I will be there.
If you see a fat boy in a flats boat, give a shout.
Probably see you at the gate, I'll be in a grey F-150 with a blue Key West behind it.
Ha, if ya see a fat boy in a Orange Bay Boat give a shout.Quote:

I had a great ride up to the power plant in the dark. Little bumpy, but it wasn’t too bad
Unfortunately by 930 only had 4, one being released. Went home around 10.
Three trucks in the lot when I arrived, must have just missed you all.
Yes, Monroe was in a grumpy mood this morning but I had to stick it out a bit longer.
Ended up with 5 big enough to keep but they were turned back to fight another day.
The first two fish to come over the side of my (new to me) boat and a picture of my red neck no drill rod holders.

it looks like Monroe was a little rough out there this morning. Glad that you all caught some and all got back safe.
Was breezy over this way too, glad I decided to lay low
Mike did she caught the big ones and did she teach you anything thanks for the pictures good looking couple.Quote:

Saw Tim go by but just couldn't fight the wind to stay in that area lost two nice fish turned with the wind and went with the flow. Finally found a pattern that worked for me around 10 am. The fish came right up on top only fishing 2 to 4 foot deep. The harder the wind blew the faster they bit. Could hardly stand to net fish then the sun came out and they quit biting. 36 on the clicker 12 in the box.............. It was nap time in the afternoon I was beat......
They were wanting red/black with clear sparkle tail today also.
Hobo, every fish in the livewell was hers. She had fun but didn't like the rolling and tossing around.Quote:

Didn’t go under the bridges til 830. Rough going north but the lower swells made it better. Good to see you Andy, and I pulled right past the flats boat at the ramp. Nice rig, sorry I didn’t see this or I would have said hello. Tried something new that worked great. Will do a show and tell at the pavilion on the 6th. Lots of little fish today, but I was also throwing back 10’s. Got 28 and kept 6, all of which had good shoulders. Worn slap out when I was done.
Good picture of you and the room mate Mike, she looks good.
I agree Andy, Friday the water was slick as glass for the 1st time in the last couple months & as a result the bite came to a screeching halt & also noticed a lot more weeds to comb through, glad you guys stuck it out & figured a pattern for some success....never choose to wish for wind due to safety, boat control, ect...but have experienced that's what get's em' chewing so far this late summer....Quote:

I agree with the pull with the wind thing. That was the ticket yesterday. I got a couple going against but better with.
Great pics, great reports. Thanks for sharing.
