I totally understand....follow your gut feeling.....good luck....
I like the drive and the little lake is peaceful so it should be fun if the license plate thief stays home. :)Quote:

I agree Pastor, but this time the ride was just to get Linda out the house. She's been laid up with a broken right arm (her fishing arm) and has cabin fever real bad. We did wet a line for a little while but fishing wasn't the prime reason for the trip. While out there I met someone who was a minnow soaker. He didn't do any good either as I spoke to him when we picked up at the launch. I invited him to CDC and when he told me his name it sounded familiar but I couldn't make a match. On the way home I remembered I had worked with his brother Scotty some years back. Small world, I just hope I run into him again soon.

better day than Sunday......no fish yesterday but I was not at dubisson....
Well I caught 3 nice fish and a big Goo in the rain. It was OK until about 11:30 when the breeze picked up just enough to make it seem cold. Truck temp said 60 back at the landing. There were 2 other brave souls but they quit before I did so no idea what they did. Mine were caught vertical fishing structure I found. Really beats Palmetto though. The last 3 trips in the kayak there gave one fish. That place used to be so good in the winter but now it's about 80% covered with salvinia.
No pics as I gave the fish to a bank fisherman.
You did well. Was the water color good and did you use any live bait? Thanks

"hey mermentau" ---- end of September went flyfishing at Palmetto tried all 3 ponds and bridge at launch area and did not even get a nibble. Saw a lot of deer and wild hogs.
Water looked clear, but hard to tell on overcast day. Only caught on 1/8 oz Roadrunner with Bobby Garland baby shad. Plane hair jig zero. Never use live bait. Hardheaded here.Quote:

That Salvinia is so thick that lots of places I'm sure no light can get through and sunlight is needed for oxygen creation. As an added joy the Apple Snails are in there too. Last year they poisoned it so hard you couldn't find any grass at all for fish to hide in. One extreme to the other.Quote:

Thanks JR but you are too far East. I would be more of a trucker than a fisherman. I go for the relaxation mostly. In reality numbers of fish is pretty low priority since I give 90% away to neighbors, relatives, and strangers.Quote:
