When ya gotta go, ya gotta go! 2/18/2020 The Chick.

Well I wasn't in the mood to sit and stare out the window at the rain today. So the boat and I headed out for about 2 hours of fishing, that is until the radar said it was time to head home. I had a plan in mind when I left the house, and it panned out. My first and only stop today, between showers produced about 20 friends to play with. Maybe 7 of those were keepers. And they were fatty's. Water is still sandy brown, and getting lighter. Temp was 54 and steady, current in the creek where I was was negligible. My presentation was pitching my jig out and letting it fall to about a 5 count in about 11' fow. Then I just watched for the line to go slack. The bite today wasn't a normal bite the line actually went slack as if the jig had hit the bottom. Several fish I brought across the gunnel I didn't even know I had them on. Bait was 1/32 chartreuse head and Black/Chartreuse stump bug. Here is a few pics of some fatty's, they are gearing up for the deed. And if someone would, please correct these pics. All of a sudden I'm having a issue with it, no matter how I rotate them they upload the same way... :banghead

As you see by the radar on the wall, it was time to go

Good job.

That’s dedication! Well done!

That rain is pounding us here in upper E TN right now, and there are a pile of Smallies at my bank fishing hole just waiting for a treat to be offered. Oh well maybe tomorrow afternoon. Nice catch, and they do look like they are fattening up.

Slabprowler, it's called Dark Sky. It is a subscription app, but for $3 a year it's worth that. Once you set it up it will alert you ahead of time before the rain/weather gets to your location. If you look at that pic it gave me a 30 min heads up. :ThumbsUp

Mr. S .... you might want to upload the Crappie.com app and use it to post pics. I say that because phone pics that get turned sideways are an effect of site updates / phone updates and the site not recognizing the orientation code & turning the pics sideways. Seems to be an ongoing problem & more and more people are experiencing it as the updates continue.

You could always turn your phone to the right and just let the site "correct" the orientation, but that don't always work (been there). That's why I post my pics in the "Testing Area" forum, first, just to make sure they'll come out correct in the post ... then just copy/paste from there to wherever I'm posting them. But, I don't post from my phone (I use my computer), so I can't tell you how to do the copy/paste method on a phone.

Thanks Pappy, I have the app. When I take a photo it automatically uploads to Google Pics cloud. Then when I post them I have to download them to my computer then create the post. Just no matter how I rotated the pics they always aligned to the right. You are correct. When I post from my phone they work out better but posting from my PC is a lot quicker. I'll have to remember to rotate my phone. When I take pics for DK I have to do the same to his phone so his photos come out correctly.

OK ... cool !! Glad the phone turn deal works for you. It did for me, too, for awhile ... then all of a sudden the pics started coming out upside down :Doh: so I loaded the C.c app and so far they come out right even when I take the pics with the phone upright. (not sure what the heck I'm going to have to do if the coming updates screw that up :bash )

I tried the "rotation" deal on my computer, but it didn't help. I think those people "fixing" the pics are using their "Paint" program to rotate the pics ... but, that's above my pay grade. :Rofl

You did a great job yesterday of fish finding and catching. I used to have the problem of pics coming out wrong on the forum when I would forget to use the edit portion on my phone. Now when I take my fish pics, I open the the pic up and hit the edit function on my phone, then crop my pics to what I think look best and click done. They always come out right when I post them. The only time that they don’t is when I forget to edit them. Lolol.

Good short trip! The fish look healthy!
