• They call me the breeze....

    My apologies to the late, great Ronnie Van Zant.... I can’t sing, but I watch the weather forecast religiously. Especially the wind! Today was cool, but the wind was predicted to be lighter, so about 4:00, I hooked up the boat in record time and we were off to a still to be determined ramp. We choose from three ramps on these quick evening trips, and I suggested one with a lot of known brush piles, as that’’s the way I like to fish. One rig at the ramp, but that ain’t gonna worry us! After all, lots of these old country boys and girls are no doubt sitting in a stand on the last week before ML season. I ain’t got no bow, and I ain’t got no Black Powder weapon, so I’m still fishing! Water temps this evening were 62.5-65.5, depending on the location. We found some fish in 20+ FOW, and we fished about 15’’ down. The bite was light, so you better be in contact with your jig, and a close eye needs to be alert to detect a “tick” or slack in the line. This 13.75 wanted some Sweet Tea with Lemon, and I took this pic to include my BGJP for G’s contest!
    I’ve caught a handful of TARPS this year, but the Golden Rule said this old gal didn’t quite make it! She just needs 1/4”” more, but alas, she will not attain TARP status. Instead, she will satisfy my urge for fried crappie! I have memorialized her in pictures, however! Notice the Power T in the background? Also, if you think I’m stupid enough to photograph her where she was caught, well, you’d be wrong!
    We didn’t keep all that we caught, but we’’re gonna eat good, and probably include a couple from church that had us over last week for some awesome Backstrap steaks. The obligatory cooler shot.
    Boys and girls, they’’re starting to group up! Get out there and have some fun!
