The 5 "W"'s

So here it is, October and the fish should be biting pretty good. Lots of rain the past week, before a full moon, water temps & air temps should be down from the normal HOT !!! It's got me thinking:

"W"here - is Speckanator, Flycaster, Speckdetector, Phantom, STU, huntinslabs ????

"W"hat - is going on? Where are these guys, just secretly fishing, gave up ????

"W"hy - no more slabfest, slabtogether, just meet & greet, fish for fun, fishing reports ????

"W"hen - are you guys going ????

"W"ho - is going this weekend ????

Anyway, hope all is well with everyone. The FL board has seemed unusually quiet lately & just had to ask
"W"here has everyone been? We are planning on going tomorrow & possibly Sunday !! Hope to have a good
report & pictures to show for it. See ya on the water soon !!

"W"hat - is going on? Where are these guys, just secretly fishing, gave up ???? Not had the boat in the water in over 9 months.

"W"hy - no more slabfest, slabtogether, just meet & greet, fish for fun, fishing reports ???? No one has taken the initiative to step up. I have lost my stamina and not able to do it anymore. Been involved with the slabfest for over 11 years, from the very first one which was held at downtown Sanford.

"W"hen - are you guys going ???? May have to see if I can get the boat ready and go sometime next week??

"W"ho - is going this weekend ????

I’ve been kinda busy getting the new boat up to speed and just busy period. Only fished once for crappie and once for gills, with the gill trip being short due to technical difficulties. I’m also fishing tomorrow, back to basics for a while. I’ll post if’n I get any worth talking about.

Been hanging out in the brine. Fished Monroe a few times and did well. Just been finding myself lost in the trips and not getting much for pics except the sunrise to tag the trips. Been having lots of fun. Been camping quite a bit too.

I been thinkin on it, might give it a try when we get cooler weather = almost there ........

And Crappiegirl has been wondering the same thing---getting motor tuned and im ready ready--maybe a little slower but ready!!

Picked up a few nice ones.

Dang, thats a nice mess Jim. Glad you had a good day !!:ThumbsUp

Not much to report Bryan, had an awesome summer "Salt" bite, but I've went (speck) fishing only twice since August...once I was to meet up with some members on Monroe & had trolling motor issues, so got side tracked to single-poling Jessup bridge to feel a tug at the other end...then a month after getting a new trolling motor, trolled Harney for a good 5 hrs & caught around 15 w/only 7 legitimate keepers....been 1 project after another, mainly at home, to derail the fall fishing...replaced 1/2 the yard's sod, built a generator enclosure, son's old ford needed a complete AC system, which was good bonding project, but left me achy contorting w/disassembly of all the dash parts...ect...but all behind me now, so "YES" it's go time!! A few pics of the limited outings...

Seems the older i get (which is now quite old), the thinking about it part becomes easier than the actual doing it part.
