Gabe is his name and he is my special helper and he is with me and KKtPFP every afternoon from 1 til 6
It is kind of slow right now but in 30 days I bet there will be lots of posts.
I check in from time to time. Very little going on @ this time. I posted a pic from Greeson this weekend. Nobody seemed to care, so I've be cruising the internet looking for news ways to fill the livewell.;)
What a grin!!! Bet he is a delight to fish with.
He's something else i'll tell ya! he dont mind handling the minntos as he calls them, but if a cricket jumps on him he will scream like a girl. Kinda unnerving the first couple times but i and he got used to itQuote:

Hopefully I'll get to go this weekend. Missed the last couple of weekends, went to Iowa last week to visit with our daughter and family. I hope these cooler days and nights will get things going down here.
Went with Darryl last Sat. to do some scotting and with Ike coming in, the wind was coming from East, North, Down, Up. Always. But it a fun good day.
Jerry got on them good. He was at the other end of the lake. Just check out thier websites to see how the fishin is.

KG I bought some unfinished ones from Barlows Tackle and spray painted them with chartreuse. I will let you know if they work.
Hey Creek....I don't know if you ever get over this way but the Field and Stream store in Mayflower has a huge selection of the Bandits. The last time I went there I bought 6 300's and it came to about $19.00 including tax.
SS that is a great price. Here at Triangle Sports they are about $5.00 each with tax. At that price if can get in your wallet when you lose 2 or 3 in a day.:mad:Quote:

I use 2 rods, one with Firetiger and various other colors on the other one, keep changing them out trying to find another hot color, but Firetiger wins every time. I have noticed the pesky green carp seem to like black, which will also catch a random Crappie now and then.
My favorites are the Mistake, Awesome Pink, Blue Spatter Back.Quote:

I've had good luck with Char. and orange with a black or brown back.
I have been a member of this board for a couple of years now. It always seems to be dead this time of the year. Gooch and Ceb used to liven things up a bit. As for me....I always seem to get into something that keeps me off of the water. I finally got the grand kids back where they belong with their parents. Now I am involved with flipping a house. Next one I am going to hire more stuff out. I told my supervisor (the wife) she was just going to have to get over it if I am not finished by the fall bite. I missed it completely last year.
BTW
Are there any contractors with experience messing with a flipper on this board?

Hey DP....I've remodeled and flipped a few houses as well as new construction.
Had a good trip this afternoon. We ended with 21 or 22 nice fish. Will try to post some pictures tomorrow.
Water too high = fish too scattered = stringers too empty = nobody lyin' about the fish they didn't catch! lol
Ouachita is still high but dropping a little every day. If I don't catch a single fish I will at least have dropped four new cedar tops...and that's no lie!
Water temp should be gettin' them in the mood. Maybe brother Tom and I will get lucky. I'm goin' alone on Friday to be joined by lil' bro on Saturday.
It would be nice to find a few stagin' at the creek mouths about now.
This place will fire back up once the water begins to recede a little.

"All fishermen are liars except me and thee; and sometimes I wonder about thee." :D
I stoped by the field and stream store in Mayflower today to pick a few more bandits up and they've raised the price to $4.79 each. :( I guess I'll start looking for another outlet.
Knock on wood, I have yet to lose one and have plenty in stock now and will not need to buy for a while.
Right now I'm concentrating on vertical jigging (my favorite technique) with the fish just now beginning to warm up on Ouachita. I hear that DeGray is heating up but have not had the time to go see for myself...maybe in a couple of weeks. :p

May be this next week I'll able to finally wet a hook for the first time since the beginning of July. Hope I haven't forgotten how to launch the boat...:D
Stick around...it's about to heat right up! The 65 degree water is almost here. :)
