Blacks & Whites... and a Bonehead day :-)

[TexExp]

Sometimes it’s best when your plans don't happen how you envisioned. Since watching the weather early this week, I took Wednesday off since the weekend looked cold/wet/windy here in north Texas. I had planned on spider rigging my home lake, but all my buddies had to work so I kept calling around. Turned out to be not what I expected, but a blessed day instead!

I ended up talking to Josh Spain from Bonehead Tackle and asked what he was doing that day. He said he had one meeting at Palestine Resort near his home in Tyler, so I checked to see if he wanted to fish Lake Palestine after that. I had fished a tournament there last year and new a few spots so I acted as guide. lol It is a couple of hours drive for me, but I like that lake and I had the whole day off... and my wife's encouragement to go! Turned out to be a blessed day all around. Got to hang out with Josh all day and vertical jig with his equipment, and the wind stayed down for us most of the day.

These are picts starting out launching near the dam. God blessed us with an awesome day. These are the kind of days I dream about on the lake.
Starting to have some fall colors, no boats, overcast, cool and calm. Very nice.

Purty fish from Palestine



Say hello to Josh, one of Crappie.com newest sponsors.



I was using his rods, orange braid, jigs and scent. I felt like a NASCAR driver cause we would trade off hats for picts! LOL



They liked his blue & chartreuse that day and they would choke it!



It was a slow day with some light bites (or no bites :mrgreen: ) but we managed 13 with some nice ones. Here's a black and a white.

It was great to get out on the lake all day with a great guy and one of Crappie.Com newest sponsors.





Mo fishes...



That night on my cleaning board






And I guess now’s a good time to announce that Josh plans on sponsoring me and my tournament partner next year. It gets tough with entry fees, gas and hotel, so every little bit helps! We fish mostly CAT (Crappie Anglers of Texas) tournaments and we will fish Crappie Masters (Ultimate Challenge) when it comes to Lake Fork in March. Maybe a few others as we go along. we are just starting out as a team so wish us luck!

thanks all! My wife and I have been trying new stuff to get away from fried fish all the time - so we tried pan searing in butter (may be just as bad??) and baking with Panko bread crumbs and shredded Parmesan. Sounded kinda weird to me at first, but its not bad!
