He's on his way

Had the pleasure yesterday to be in the boat w/Andy aka/Crappieday for the 1st time since his health issues came upon him last November & was blessed w/slight breezes & plenty of rod bending. Ended up being quite the P/T session for him, before we left the water...probably boated 60 some fish & finished w/somewhere in the 30's for keeper fish over 11" to help his freezer look a little better. Really missed bouncing concepts of bait size, color, & presentation these last few months w/him, as well as everyday "chewing of the fat"...Yep, it was a good ole time to be had...& couldn't think of a better way to finish off the day, to what had been an awesome outing w/some table fare caught last week in the form of some stud coppernose gills I've neglected to ingest for a few yrs now, reminded me of blue crab, in the "working" of the meat off the bone, but oh so good prepared in this manner, glad I left a few not completely fileted.....tight lines all till next time....life is good:biggrin

I could almost see and feel Andy smiling! Great Day!

Very nice trip with many faceted rewards!:cheers2

Wow. Thanks for sharing the adventure and the great pics. Those plated gills look mighty fine. Makes me want to get the fly rod out and go Gill Hunting. I love to plate up some Gills with Potato Puffs, "cold" Slaw and some Sweet Tea. Time to break out the frog poppers. Tight Lines.

Awesome awesome. Great to see Andy hitting the water again. Great pics, thanks for sharing. :cheers2

Great to see Andy back on the water. Jeff thanks for all you do on this form, you always seem to be helping someone of us that need help. Andy your looking really good and healthy. Keep on doing what your doing. Can't wait to come back to Florida and fish with both of you. Jeff thanks for the post.

Still catching specks in my dreams last night Jeff, can’t thank you enough. Didn’t want to stop but my legs and back said otherwise, need to exercise more so I can stand and single poll all day again.

Good to see you two out there doing the deal. Jeff’s boat is lots safer than mine Andy. Both of you were in good company and the freezers are in much better shape now. Hoping to see you out more soon Andy.

Nice trip, man those gills look excellent!!

looks like ou guys had a great day. Good to see that Andy is getting back on the water.

that is one of my great joys too Jeff, sharing the experience with someone who has had trouble getting out. It's like taking a young one out who gets so excited at learning how to fish.

Glad you 2 had a great day. Andy told me yall wrecked em.
