been fishin lately?! I havet been in about a week and a half. Grandpa is in serious condition with hs kidneys and lungs both nearly completely collapsed. So i=I have been in ohio with him. Im ready to see some pictures so I can look at a few fish and remember what they look like!!!!
Birdy, I could do better than that, I could post some video clips of some fish I have been catching but you know how I am, I don't want to draw too much attention to my favorite fishin' hole. I will say I have been catching a mess of 10" crappie just about every day. And, usually, several channels also.
Cherish the times with your grandfather. My grandfather was very special to me. I hope your grandfather is better soon.

Guys, I just about give up on this high water thing. I took a buddy of mine's advise and came down to the south end on Sunday. We got into a few but mostly caught crappie. Now mind you I am looking for white bass and a ton of them. He has been getting them busting early and late. I can't really do a guide trip on just an hour or so of busting fish both early and late like he can since he lives just four minutes from the lake.. I wanted to find these fish once they dropped back to a ledge. Problem is that now they just drop down and bury themselves into the flooded willows and will not come back out until near dark. I can find bait out deep suspended but so far the whites aren't out there with them. I can't blame it on water color now as the entire lake is as clear as gin. I have canceled 33 trips thus far and with gas the way it is I can't afford to come every Saturday looking for fish so I can keep my Sunday, Monday guide trips. I have just decided to wait until it goes down at least back to 606-608 which is still eight feet over summer pool. Maybe that will pull them out of the willows, and at three to four inches a day I am looking at beginning of September provided we don't get any more rain.
Birdman, sorry to hear about your grandpa. Its good you got to spend that time with him. Fishing, I have just about gave it up and returned to golfing. I May get my black lights out and go cat fishing if this keeps up. Have a good one. Catch you later.

I hope your Grandfather gets better soon . The last time I was out was about a month ago . I was fishing on the south end of Shelbyville for Crappie and hooked into a 44 1/4 inch Buffalo . I had 6 lb test on and it took me 1 hour and 50 minutes to get him into the boat . I took a few pictures and turned it loose . I will post a picture in the big fish sticky soon .
Hey Tyler, I am sorry to hear about your grandpa. The time yoiu spend with your grand parent is priceless. I hope he does get to feeling better soon.
As far as fishing I have been one time in the last two weeks because I have been busy also. After my mother in law passed away, my father in law and I are in the process of trying to finish the room we built on my house. It was a room she wanted for us, so he wanted to finish it. That has been keeping me very busy every day and it is getting old. Also my best friends dad passed away the other day after complications from a surgery. So it has been a very hard couple of weeks.
I do plan on going sometime this week. I will let you know how it goes.
anybody...
