Thread: Greeson Trip Report

For all y'all Closed Mouth Sucka's, I'll be happy to give every detail of my fishing/camping trip to Lake Greeson. I am not selfish at all! I'm a Sharer!

1. I caught nothing. Nada. (well one little goggleye). Not a bite. Not a nibble. Not a hint of a bite. Nothing. Scary nothing.

2. I fished every way I knew how, including the new ways I've learned since going with one of you guys. I found brush piles and fished them hard. Jigs. Minnows. Both. I "Longlined" all over the lake (man I love that sportbrella). I pulled cranks. I didn't specifically spider rig, but I did have multiple poles out doing what I call 'strolling'.............

3. I launched on the east end. I put in on the west end. I put in at the middle. I fished my old haunts where in the mid 80's I caught a limit every trip out (albeit in April every year, which MIGHT be the real answer to this...this being June and hot). I went everywhere. So did water lice, loud boats, funky boats, party barges, and stuff I can't even categorize.

4. Nothing. Not once did I get what I consider a 'crappie bite'. Nothing.

Now, I admit I have fun on Crappie.Com............but I really do know how to catch a few fish now and then. Not always, and no, I'm no pro like many of y'all. But I have fish in the freezer, the 'old way'. This time was the first multiple trip time I can ever remember that I NEVER got a nibble.

I know this lake has guides. I think one left out for parts unknown, and I don't blame him. I looked at one of the guide's websites, and the pictures for the last 6 weeks are for "5 fish", and "8 fish"........and mostly bream (which I shoulda taken crickets). That shoulda told me.

But the trip was more about taking Mama and going camping somewhere new. And Kirby Landing is a Boffo place to camp! Lovely! As for camping, we had a ball.........

But fishing? No luck at all. But at least we were at a lake that wasn't 15 feet high, and it was nice, and good weather. And I ate a lot.

Now, my kids that are scattered all over the USA are coming in this week for my Birthday, and then we go camping with wife's kinfolks at end of month on Greers, and then..............then I go sit in the a/c and wish for September!

The End.
