    Default Astor Last Week


    My oldest son and me flew down for a few days last week. Fished with dad on the river a couple mornings. We were drifting with minnows and caught 11 keepers the first morning and 15 the next. Lots of throwbacks too both days and one 2# 4oz slab that got released to spawn. It was so nice to leave the ice and snow up north and enjoy a couple 80 degree days! The video is from the first morning and we had turkeys gobbling on both sides of the river.

    Nice share TL- always enjoy your You Tube proficiency. Glad to see you'll be kayak sheep-herding on this visit as well. One species I haven't targeted down here.

    Good looking catch.
    How do the Florida crappie taste compaired to yours at home?
    Capps and Coleman, the fishing pros, said they did not like the taste of Florida crappie.

    We like the Florida crappie just as much as the ones back home with the exception of the really big ones. Been throwing the 2# plus fish back for several years. We don’t think they taste as good as the smaller ones sometimes and also hope they turn into a 3 pounder!

    Thanks! We did try the sheep-herding but they didn't want to cooperate as well as they did last winter.
