Met up with Slab at 7:15 AM and off to Lake Griffin.
Beautiful day to be on the water. sporadic activity, totals for the day boated 24 crappie and one green carp. Put 5 crappie in the live well. Lost several keepers at the side of the boat.
THANKS ED for a wonderful time.
All I need to remember is to: Swing the fish in the boat and not drag them to the side of the boat.:bash
Good Job, guys !!
I'm wondering, though ... from the pics I see many of the jigs barely hooked in the lips of the fish, could that be from too high of a trolling speed ?? Or could it be from less than aggressive fish ?? I can see where hooking them there would allow some to get off the hook if not quickly netted or yanked into the boat from a distance.
Looks like some are starting to get their tuxedos on and get ready for the "big dance" :biggrin
Imho it’s just less aggressive fish.Quote:

Sorry I missed you John thought the wind was up on main lake and the fish weren't taking part, good to see you got a meal and a few pulls. I nearly smelled skunk and left early.--shu
Yep the wind has really put a hurten on us poor weekend fishermen and it looks to be the same for this weekend too.Quote:

Nice going guys, looks like a fun day. Nice to see you post John. Some nice looking slabs.

Interesting observation that the boat had to be rocking otherwise you didn't get bit. Thanks for sharing. Might have to rock the boat more often.Quote:
