Thread: Do-over at Diascund

DooDo will try to hook up with you sometime tomorrow. It's going to be a flip of the coin where I will end up LCR or DR. See you sometime tomorrow. Hope you will have you camera ready.

Camera batteries are charging & will be ready for action. Be sure to alert Adams to the liklihood that we'll need an official weigh-in tomorrow afternoon. :D

Seriously, I should have mentioned earlier that Dave Adams and his staff are VERY accommodating when you need to get an official weight. They have a certified scale and are happy to weigh your fish and complete the weight section of the citation form. I'm a regular customer, but there's never been any mention of a fee for this important service.

Not usually, but I've had the good fortune to need 3 fish weighed during the past 3 weeks. Two of the three were citations.

I dont believe the corks can dive to fast for you:D

Corker, Did a half day Sat morning. Caught a bunch (100+) but only 5-6 keepers and nothing that needed scales or a tape. Unlike the past few weeks when they preferred jigs this weekend they were hungry for minnows. The wind came up shortly after day break so I still have not had the chance to work some of the deeper holes. Most of our fish were found along the bushes 4-6' of water. Seemed like you would go for ever with nothing then hit a bee hive of them..

It was busy with several large pickerel, three or four LM, a bream or two, plenty of white perch, and 1/2 dozen ring perch. I've definately learned how to tell when a ring perch has your minnow over a crappie. They can be rather trifling to say the least.

Go Gettem and let me hear a story when you get back... Heck I might take off Weds and do another half day... WX looks pretty good...

Wind, rain, and the occasional rumble of thunder--what would a fishing trip be without them? Once again, today featured not-so-pleasant weather. Sprinkles started by the time I got to my first spot this morning & the fish seemed to be hiding. Like last week, I marked lots of fish, but the bite was slow--except for gars. They were biting quite well. I probably hooked a dozen, lost at least a dozen more minnows to them, and landed two. The larger was about 34".

I picked up a few small specks here & there (including a newly discovered beaver hut). All together there may have been two dozen for the day. Only 2 or 3 were marginal keepers (just 10") plus this one-


Once again, close but no cigar---14-7/8".


This was a thick fish & may have made 2lbs, but I left my unofficial scales in the car & wasn't willing to kill the fish and later find that it was an 8th of an oz. short, too. Later this year, this fish will "grow up" to be citation size.

Oh yeah. Just fixin to go to bed with a black dog and a stumpy to ease the pain and then this panaramic vista of my secret hole.
Boy I am pissed now.
This is it. I am calling Boscoe.
