I will not get skunked

[ncnat]

I will not get skunked, I will not get skunked. Going squirrel hunting at first light then crappie fishing on the Yadkin River. I hope I still remember how to fish, I hav'nt been since October. I will not get skunked, I will not get skunked.

Here is a direct quote from Rookie12 concerning my fishing on Highrock this past weekend, "That cold, muddy water will humble you".

I really felt like I would do well on Highrock when I headed out. I didn't get skunked, I was glad I went and it felt good to be out there. But the fishing was horrible. I have two types of days when I fish, fishing days and catching days. This was deifinetly a fishing day.

Good luck, you'll need it!

how'd you do ncnat? Are you using squirrel dogs or just walking the woods? My cousin just bought a cur that he's going to train to squirrel hunt. Can't wait till next year. Hope you did well.

I came across Abbotts Creek from Southmont a few minutes ago....I believe I caught the faint odor of a skunk drifting across from the main channel.

It wasn't coming from my boat.

Since there was rain on the windshield this morning I skipped the squirrel hunting (I don't like cleaning wet squirrels) and only fished. No dogs.

OK, NO skunk here today. I caught 17 crappie, 2 white perch and 1 bream. Most of the crappie were 9''-12''. All were caught on jigs except for 1 white perch that was caught on a crankbait from 5'-12' deep very near or on the bottom. Water was slightly stained (clear by Yadkin River Standards) and ranged from 37*-54*. All but 1 fish came from 43* water. The bigger fish were caught using a 1/16 oz jighead with a 1.75'' tube and a 1.5'' curltail pushing the split ends of the tube out.

YOU THE MAN!

I'll have to try repeatedly shouting that at the ramp my next trip (not been out in over 2 wks due to weather). And d*** the bystanders, they'll just think Im yet another crazy ole man.

good job nat...did you use the new rods and reels? Was wondering how those rods worked. Were you fishing that general area you were telling me about Saturday at the fishing show?
