I'm tying jigs, fixing stuff on the boat, re-spooling reels, puttering around with gear and waiting for this wind to lay down. Looks like Thursday is the best day this week to go to Oconee again, anyone else going?
I suppose if it is too windy to fish, I should go out and cruise around looking for brushpiles and setting waypoints. I might do that tomorrow on Lanier.
Wind will make for better boat control if livescoping.Quote:

How so?
With the wind forecast looks like Thursday will be my next trip to Oconee. I think I will try the south end of the lake to avoid the crowds.
@Thunder : I suppose you mean a steady wind to keep the boat from swinging around too much on spot-lock, if one has the LS mounted on the TM shaft. Mine is not. I'm talking about winds over 15 mph with gusts to 20+ mph. No fun in any fishing situation, IMO. Hard to keep a cigar lit. :D
I was being sarcastic!!! The wind sure makes it tough.Quote:

Ooops. I take everything y'all say seriously, I guess. These fish are making me crazy. Crappie crazy.
:ThumbsUp
Edit: just checked weather, only calling for 10-20 mph tomorrow.
yes the wend and a lot of other things like work and had a death in family and had to go to Oklahoma for a week . looks like being behind on work and chores around the house will interfere some more along with Dr apt.well maybe one day soon .
Fished Lanier today. Caught a pretty good many, just can't find the good size like I do on Oconee.

Chew it instead of setting it on fire, being careful which direction you spit
Going local tomorrow, prob gonna dock shoot or look for brushpiles in the creeks on Lanier. The bait is definitely up the creeks and ditches, and that's where the crappie will be. That lake is like a desert on the bottom, when I find a good pile I set a waypoint, They are starting to mount up, but the big slabs are eluding me, and most brush I have found so far has lots of shorties on them.
I love fishing Oconee, it has spoiled me for other lakes. I think I may go there Tuesday early and fish until the rain shows up, then scoot home before rush hour. I have rain gear and really hardly ever use it, plus the boat is getting icky and needs a shower!
Good luck!
