Thread: Worth the effort ?

All I can tell you is you can't catch them if you don't go.

All I can say is that I'm going tomorrow!

John, the fish are already transistioning towards the backs of the creeks so finding them on the graph ought not be too terribly hard. Start looking along flats in 15'-20' of water and move shallower from there. Ive only went once lately and that was out my back door and caught a good many for a short trip and what I cleaned had shad in 'em. I KNOW theyre following the bait so find the bait and the fish wont be far away. Now, minners or jigs? Well, you KNOW what I'd use but the fish should be biting both. You wont know until you go. Like Ray said....cant catch 'em at home.

John, I know you wont catch anything without me in the boat, longlining should do the trick. I would swing by and get me and my jig box and head on over to Nivens . Then go straight out to old Joslin park and hit the shallows. What use to be 30 foot. LOL We could hit in front of Elks park. Then head up river to our secret spot where we started out the last time we went. I'd said we could do pretty good. The rain won't hurt them the temp has stayed the same pretty much. Day guys are doing pretty good on the deep side to shallow in and around brush. So if I don't get that call I know you went without me.

Before the lake comes back up, how bout one of you guys walk out to the middle of Big Allison and get Gerald Cromer's rod and reel for me.

I'm all for that. :-) $20 to whoever finds it.

New growth of grass has covered that rod up. I had a guy tell me he was walking the shoreline looking for fishing stuff up in the trees. Good way to get some tackle if you don't want to spend the cash for it. Just replace the hooks!

Dawgg , I thought you was workin Sat. p.m.
Anyway you didnt miss a whole lot. Found several of brettw's nunny holes. You know the one's he fishes in. Tried Little Allison ,Big Allison ,The Secret spot and a few others. Nothing but perch ,cats ,and peanut green carp. Not one crappie to be found. Pulled jigs for bout 3 hrs. Only cats and green carp. Went to minners. Found the perch for sure.Wind was a big problem for me. Hate fishin in the wind. Lake looks real bad. If all this rain comes in the lake it wont help much. Nivens ramp is gonna be soon if it dont rain a bunch. But we tried and had fun just gettin the old boat wet and slimey again. No pictures. Left phone in the truck this a.m. Sorry bowman. Maybe next time.
