Who's fishing today?


Me.

Lord I wish I could go with you. Or better yet, send my wife with you!
I can actually enjoy a day with my kids if the over stressed holiday wife wasn't here.

I'll be there tomorrow for sure..maybe this evening

Not me. I get to spend a wonderful day with my in-laws.

Tomorrow afternoon. If the boat will tote me after all im gona eat today. Ive got a new play purty to try out. Maybe i can keep it in the boat.

If you play your cards right, they might forget to invite you next time.

I’ve had to work thanksgiving the past 7 years. I usually have an excuse not to go.

Nah. Cooking 3 birds today

Fished Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and will be there again tomorrow. Cant wait.

I will be this afternoon/evening. Still drying my stuff from last weekend's unplanned swimming excursion. LOL.

If The Boss wasn't in town, I would have been on the river at 7am this morning. Beautiful day to be outside.

I was on the water at daylight. Had a decent morning. The crappie were biting but very subtly. I caught 10 and had 3 break off on the hook set. All good uns.

On the hook set... come on Fur. They ain't called paper mouths for nothing.

I reckon i went a huntin for the first time in a long time this morning. I usually have great luck fishing around Thanksgiving every year though.

Went around lunchtime and caught a few at the hunting club.

I caught a few. Lost some really nice ones and threw a few back. Stayed inside the canoe this time so it was a lot of fun for a 1.5 hour trip. I had a bite on almost every cast, sometimes two and three. They would only hit a tiny trout plug with the smallest trebles so all the really big ones pulled off. They were busting shad they had cornered up in a cove.

Taking my Dad and FIL in the morning to chase the spotted seatrout

I didn't rip the jig out of their mouth. I snapped the fishing line. I haven't done that in a long time and did it once yesterday and three times today. I think I got some 2# line mixed in with my 4#. I backed way off my drag and quit snapping line.

I’m not brave enough to try that 2 lb.

We fished off the bank for a bit right before dark. Caught a lil bass. It was fun.

It's coming off the spools today and getting replaced by 4 lb. I likely wouldn't have broken off if I had the drag loosened enough. One good thing about that 2#, I can shoot a 1/32nd ounce jig about 30 yards. I want to know how big the shoulders are on those crappie that broke me off. I broke one off on the hook set trip before on 4# line. Same dock.

Glad you found a couple of crappie. I went to Neely and Logan past couple weekends. Got blanked at Neely and caught small bass on crappie jigs at logan

Didn’t fish t-day but went this afternoon on Jordan. Caught a dozen good channel cats on jugs I threw out while bass fishing. Caught 6 decent spots and 2 bigmouths in a creek channel. Pretty good afternoon.

Took my 80 year old Dad and 75 year old FIL today. Caught white trout til we were tired of catching them with a few decent specks mixed in and everyone had a blast.

That’s what it’s about

Now that’s cool! What an awesome way to spend the day

Me. Logan Martin.......peaceful.

Yep

Cool deal. Congrats.

Heard/saw very few boats on the River above Howton's on either Thursday or Friday. Kind of surprised, given the pretty weather.

2# wil break if ya look at it wrong.

Years ago I tried to fish 2# to break a couple flared channel and blue catfish world records. The 2# tippet would break with no drag if the fish ran in a curve, with no drag. The weight of the fly line pulling sideways would break the 2# tippet. I finally used a short 15 foot fly line(shooting head) and landed some good fish. I got the idea from some salt water fly fishermen that were targeting tuna/marlin on 16# tippets that were having the same problems. I think I still hold those records with IGFA.

That's cool Troy. I went back yesterday armed with 4# test. I started fishing around 6:30 and had 8 in the boat at 7:15. The wind shifted at 7;15 and that was all she wrote. I didn't get another bite. I still broke one fish off on the hook set. There is no way I got tangled up in anything. I'm not actually fishing the dock, I'm fishing right beside the dock. I'm fishing a weed edge on a drop off. I've broken off 5 times there in 3 days. Broken off on crappie bites too, not a random LM or catfish bite. That's more than I've broken off in a year. I can't wait til I see one of those big suckers. I'm not giving it a 10# bass super slam hook set, just a quick wrist twitch to get a hook in em before they spit the jig out. I've got the drag loose enough that it'll slip on the hook set if I get too ninja whoopin with it.
