A minnow bite is the word

and from my corner there is the same old answer , sure sure bro whatever you say :Rofl
some of my buds were spotted 2 days in a row sitting on one of my condo installations by a fellow who helped me place them condos .
so said minner dunking bud sends me a text and says thank you for setting them 2 condos over there by the reeds .
I replied you done been busted TWO days in a row sitting on top of my condos my friend ! :banghead:crazy:
we chatted a bit and he said they will only bite minnow for some reason .....:dono
said he left with a big number of fish both visits using minners .....my spotter done told me they was dunking minners anyway so it wasn't a surprise to me he owned up to it .
well , I got the chance to go for a boat ride with the fella that helped me place them yesterday and to be sure it was a minnow bite just as stated ....
I opted for an imitation artificial minnow though and ,the fish got all confused and thought I was dunking real minners too ......
heck one of them fish got so confused by all of it , that it just threw itself sideways right onto said artificial minner too ....:Rofl:Rofl:Rofl
water temp 69 at first light ,at 9 it was 75 and off to work I went , my bud needed 40 for his church fish fry and he had 18 from the day before and added our 23 from this trip and .......
KABOOM is the word yawl ....:highfive

thanks sir , in this neck of the woods one might ketch them a really nice one right now .
the day before at another lake I landed a fish just under 16 inches with a fish right behind it that was over 14 inches .
love me some fall ketchn for sure .....:highfive

The fall bite would be better here if all the rain would ease up. The water is so muddy now the crappie will need livescope to find the jigs

Awesome Ketchn. Yeah if you could just share those gps coordinates I can guard the fishin holes for you.... hehe

You're killin' me man. If we don't dry out I may be looking to move closer to a Texas based Brisket Joint. Love Texas BBQ! Great post.

P.S. my friends call me the "Foul Hook King" but it is Speckled Trout I foul hook all the time.

I guess there is no shame in “borrowing” someone else’s condo!:Rofl Two days in a row! Unfortunately depending on your point of view there are always eyes watching!

That would be a long drive to report to guard duty

Yeah wouldn't be a daily commute that's for sure. :Rofl

Sweet!
Love me some fall fishing.

That is some good eating

Agree about minnows. My buddy shuns minnows and normally out fishes me with jigs (heck—he out fishes me if he used a cane pole and a bent pin) but this week my miners have been welcomed by the great fish they are.

Nice mess of fish

For some reason, Joe Pool is more productive with minnows than jigs right now. Even on my slips, crappie are hard to catch with jigs but easy with minnows. So far I have kept to jigs but if I keep seeing other boats pulling in numbers of crappie while I am only catching occasional crappie that may change.

I made the mistake last week of taking an acquaintance to a spot that had turned into a good producer for me. Mostly small but a lot of them with a few nice ones thrown in. Haven't been able to fish the spot since. Every time I show up there he is sitting there with a friend of his fishing the spot. Needless to say, if I ever take him on my boat again it will be to all the non-productive spots. :Rofl
