Nice catches
Early yesterday morning's Posting-attempt(obviously too early), was "challenged" and lost AFTER 40 minutes of artistic-creativity!Well, AFTER my failed Senior, computer-challenged attempt of self-rescue/fix, I decided to call the owner of this C.com thingy.
As usual, Ed was sitting in his Lifeguard-chair(unfortunately for him, NOT @the Beach!), always willing to help a member during a SENIOR-moment
As the trouble-shoot exercise unfolded, Ed theorized that my large, Caveman-club apparently touched something it shouldn't have!With his astute capabilities/patience, he got me back-up & running, but unfortunately the Cow(Post) had already left the barn!
Thursday's solo-trip is well worth relaying(twice) because of the atypical diversity that I was Blessed with enjoying. L/l'g 8 rods was 1st method chosen on the early, building-winds, sunny Florida day.(w/t 75.9*) Didn't take but a minute to get that long-tailed, black critter w/striped tail out the boat, because my 14' r yielded a nicely-shouldered 13" to start my day. Clicker was being routinely massaged with each ice-bathed guest.
Two very nice Channel Catfish added to the day's workout, thankfully forecasting my Catch o' the Day!
19" WIPER [White Bass/Striper hybrid}. This VERY shy combatant did NOT want to see the inside of my cooler after a net-massage(ticklish?) OR meet his new friends that were just chillin'!
After having enough fun for three people, and the whitecaps(20 mph), I decided to head to the skinny, more protected water. With u/l mini-stick(5') as weaponry, it took but a minute to get my big Speck o' the day.
More mini-stickin' fun was had with Bluegill and Crappie before I decided to head to the ranch(ramp).
Here's a few more pics= Say HELLO to my little friends!
Wiper was fooled with a 1/32 oz. beetle-spin orange/white silver sparkle 2" twister, my usualmini-stick lure was 1/32 oz. BlackChartreuse tube.
Thanks for Ridin'/Readin'/Reelin'
Note: Because of my preference to u/l mini-stickin', probably will end up downsizing my Caveman-Club!![]()
Thanks for checkin' on me! CURIOSITY takes me there, SUCCESS ushers me back!![]()

Very nice Sir. I had Visio’s of you riding the cow like Otis Campbell with a Coors Light in one hand and a blue crab in the other.

Patiencemaybe just a little, but seems like less of it as I age. Sorry for the slightly louder "attention redirections"! lol

Nice catches! Those wipers are a blast(unless you're trolling 12 lines and one decides he needs to get wrapped up in every single one of them!)![]()

Everyone of those fish was a good one for the day, nice sized. I’d like to watch the show with one of those stripers on a little stick! That would take a minute.

Thanks for sharing another "Fishing with Doug" adventure. Interesting that the 1/32" bait was not only seen but eaten by the Wiper. I wonder what the odds are of finding a fish of that size with a lure of that size in a huge body of water.
