Me & Tu found a couple of acorns @ LP 08 25 19

Trolled the mid - range water (39 to 21 FOW) for the suspended hens and found some very nice chunks. I broke out with an almost 12 and an almost 11 double and then we got into some plump CNBGs. Got Tu thinking about JDM rods now... Had to bail early - lake lice were horrendous and I forgot my patience at home!! Have to hit this spot tomorrow - "strike while the iron is hot".

those are some really pretty monsters !!!......looking forward to acquiring a few jdm rods myself.........btw,,,what are lake-lice ?......also looking through your pictures , have you ever recognized a fish that you have previously caught ?.....

Love it! We should see some lice reduction after next weekend!

lake lice=pleasure boaters/jjet skiers who see that your fishing and will contiuously come in the area just to upset the fishing. Also causing wakes to rock your boat and see how close they can get to knocking someone in the water...lake lice

Goodness gracious those are some chunks. Our lakes are falling fast and thinning out even faster. School has started, dove season opens soon and our first cool spell is coming this week. All signs of Fall and Less Lake Lice :crazy:

Nice fish!! Definately in my bucket list

thnx for the comments
ulr - I've never seen 2 CNBGS with the same markings and I'm not sure if I've re-caught one. I know my mentor (Jim Simpkins) has done it before. He broke a big fish in the morning and came back in the evening and caught it again - fish still had the jig in it's mouth. JD covered the lake lice thing - so unnecessary and extremely annoying.
Stan - I vote for school all year! Prime time is coming...

Cool Tu

oh !! i understand now.....yes , they infest this area too , at times.....in the summer they really have to work to get into the slew where i live , the mouth of the slew is very small and gets congested with vegetation ,,,,only the die-hard river-lice are willing to put out enough effort to get in.............thanks for the definition .

Very nice fish Sonny!

You might have had some frustrations but the fish made up for it. I went looking this morning(vacation) to find the river up and running hard. This puts too much flow in the areas I like. Haven’t been here in a very long time, glad to catch what I did. Replacing wood under modular decks in the new boat, two t shirt day. I never saw another boat til I got to the ramp, and he was putting in. Fishing during the week has its perks. Thanks for the pics, and taking us along. One day it won’t be pictures.

thnx Redge & Tim
Like the metallic blues too. Maybe spring time Tim.

The colors on those fish, just awesome.

Those are some Beasts

One of the reasons I enjoy catching them Slab. They do get good size out here DSJ.

I just really want to put my fillet knife to about 3 or 4 of them …..
I promise to surgically remove all the edible parts with precision rivaling a brain surgeon
and I will enjoy consumption of them in a mannerly fashion as well .
nice yawl them are some big ole monster "perches" fo shur

I kinda feel sorry for lake lice, their parents never taught them how to fish.

Ketchn -My buddy Tu took a half limit (13) of these chunks home. Lot of meat on a 10" Bluegill. These fish are getting real fat eating in the deeper water. Got friends out from Florida, we're planning a fish fry for tomorrow or Monday - hope we can get on them...

DRF - how to fish or respect, common sense, appreciation of nature...……..
