Thread: 11/29 - Slow morning on the Chick

The fish weren't cooperating very well this morning. I only got 10 in the boat and lost a few nice ones at the boat. The fish were few and far between in the 11' to 13' range so I went out deeper in 20'. I was getting more bites here and some nice ones when two BIG pleasure boats came through. The wakes from those boats turned the bite completely off. I had more painting to do in my garage so I did not wait for the bite to turn back on. I just went home. The water temp was 50° this morning.

good day to be out for sure Pan Man...fishing then painting ...hmmn.. is there a crappie scale inlay pattern for the boathouse.......

Nope; I'm just slow and have 1100 square feet of drywall to apply primer and paint to. It took 5 gallons of primer and will take about 3 gallons of paint.

I may put up some crappie wallpaper border

though.:D

Once I get the cabinets and workbench installed, I will post more pictures of a really clean, very white garage. DonG will be proud of me.

mine was white and clean then I moved in with race car boats four wheelers bench grinders air compressor etc etc. good luck with that....I have learned that a clean shop is best but a working shop it is tuff to keep spotless...I am currently looking to put a through the wall exhaust fan in to remove fumes and dust and such.........mine is all cdx plyboard on interior walls and ceiling and talk about soaking up some paint & primer good luck and I know you are pumped aint nuttin better than a man building :D:D

What, your camera is broken? :D Just kiddin. Good to see you're back out there chasing the crappie.

when you went to deeper water what depth were you at? glad you got out.:D

I saw you crossing the Mattaponi in West Point about 8:30 this morning. I figured you was heading to the Chick. At least ya got out there. It was a nice day to be on the water. Ya do not get many this nice in late November.

18' to 20'. Just past the piers on the other side of the channel towards Graves Landing. I had my jigs 15' to 16' deep. They still preferred blue/chartreuse and watermelon/chartreuse sliders.
