Crow eating fool

Ok so that’s said about eating crow, I stopped and got minnows today on my livescoping trip, stopped at the first spot dropped a slip cork rig down and it went down fast, caught my first crappie on a minnow while livescoping. Then I pitched that next minnow for hours, without a bite. Then I grabbed my jig and started catching the fire out them, in about 2 hour had a limit with the jigs. So I will have to agree with most of you fellows on here about minnows while livescoping, lots easier also. So when it time for old dano to eat some crow I am man enough to admit it.. Sometimes the learning curve, I have got to try it myself. Thanks guys.+Cross+

Could have easily been the other way around.

And some days they don't want either one.:biggrin

Superdave it was a very hot 91 degrees today, too hot, but windy, windy , windy. White capping, skiers, boat traffic it was a rough day, plus did not put my plug in my boat when I launched, so had to put it back on trailer and get all the water out, before I could go. Looked like it was the first time I ever put a boat in. Anyone ever forgot to put their plug in their boat?

I have lost count of the times. Put a drain with a check ball on this boat. It works pretty well in the event. When I bought the boat it had a piece of masking tape across the windshield that had don't forget the plug in marker. It was rather unsightly. I decided to clean it off of there. It was quite the chore. Of course the next time I launched I did so without the plug in the boat. I used that as my test of the ball check drain. I would have to pump out about 10 gallons every 30 minutes with the bilge pump. It is nice to know that it does work in the event I leave the plug out

Jack never heard of a check value for a boat drain, I will have to check that out.

Think I found it at Academy. I will have to look ans see if I can findit online

Found this one at Bass Pro. It seems to be an updated model from the one I have

I have a dry box in the boat behind the drivers console seat. Inside the dry box is a plastic cup with the main plug and the ignition key. The plug is on top of the key, so I must remove the plug to access the key. Once in my hand, I know where it goes. Same thing for the lanyard kill switch.

Danny I have a post I'm writing now but needs time to complete. I relates to our experiences shiner fishing.........the anomalies not the norm. Anyway about 7 years ago, right before we got the Tropical Storm-Hurricane flurry here on the Gulf Coast year after year even on Ross Barnett, that summer if you didn't fish shiners you didn't catch fish. I think we are in the same scenario today. I think the El Nino was building then too, maybe has something to do with it?

Know the feeling, not the drain plug, but when I unhooked the bow winch I forgot the safety chain and couldn't understand why my boat wouldn't come off the trailer. :banghead

when they want a live bait , it goes without saying they might not eat a jig very fast , but more often than not minnows are not the answer as seen on ls over and over , just saying ...:highfive

Shiners are the exception to me also. I bought 600 #4's yesterday at the Hatchery and until the Crappie start biting jigs again I will have a few in the boat. I bought a new 1.3 gal Cool Bubbles bucket today.

I might have forgotten, and it might have been more than once! LOL

Mine never comes out much anymore but regardless, it’s part of my list of things to do before I leave the house while I’m connecting. Kinda stops the chance for me. My boat doesn’t leak and it’s stored under cover so it rarely gets any water in it. Ive forgotten it a few times when I had the bass boat, and it took water fast.
