Thread: WHAchaCALLit?

Well, here goes = Crappie, Croppie, Sac-a-lait, Socket eye, Chinkapin, White perch...and...oh, what was that one name?...man, it's been a while...oh yeah, that's it!! =
Strawberry Perch!
The sunrise kick-off time was preceded by heavy fog conditions for my lengthy 1 hr. 45 min. drive time(on a good day). The motoring speed was eerily slow on the water, with many w/o gps capabilities running in wide circles. The conditions didn't noticably improve until about an hour after sunrise. Luckily, Mom Nature's WIND-SPEED was non-existent the whole time. Today's overall fish bite-activity was very good. Did more l/l'g than single-pole casting thus covering more territory. Good numbers with some Studs in the bunch

Had a couple sizable Gar, one nice 3 # Channel cat, and then the 16' "alarm' sounds and what in the world is this? Tremendous fun on the long stick to yield a sizable ANGRY Bowfin/Mudfish/Mudder-in-law fish Fortunately, my next net usage came just after seeing the water temp. at a Scorching 75*!! Been having record breaking hot temps. here.
DEFINITELY a welcomed KEEPER
Just to illustrate how bad the conditions were = I saw Pontoon Pappy's Truck/trailer parked on the lot so I gave him a call. He wanted to know WHO is this? He was out there, with a guest, doing the "long" tour = he didn't have the FOGGIEST idea who I was!! j/k
He also did well l/l'g and only had a short-trip planned "off the water" by 10:30.

Thanks for READIN'/RIDIN"/REELIN"
