Thread: What a Day on Chicot!

It was a tough day Pete. I fished from 3p-8p. I caught 8 white perch and threw 5 back. I did manage to keep 12 bull bream and 4 redears.. All were caught on a 1.5" black flake jig, pumped up w/nibbles.

I fished the north end of the lake hitting all my good spots with no luck..

Better luck next time.....

That trip sure sounds like some of mine. . .

I've experienced:
Devil's Horse hooks lodged in my arm...cut the line and kept fishing. (regretted that later)

Lost glasses in 60 ft. of water. (heckuva drive back home)

Snagged alligator by accident. (regretted that immediately)

Friend #1 in front of boat catches large "bullfrog" by hand, instead comes up with large cottonmouth, slings it straight up. It lands in bottom of boat just in front of Friend #2 who immediately fires three shots of 12 guage #3 buckshot through the snake AND through the bottom of the boat. (regretted that immediately)

Wind caught the end of my 14 foot alum. boat. Swung around and smacked a dead tree. Top of tree containing red wasp nest as large as my head broke off and fell into said boat. (regretted that immediately AND later until the swelling went down)

hey pete i guess you did not try the old flyrod,i have been catching some nice chinks and gills .
i bet i have released a couple hunderd in the last week,man they have been taking dragon nymphs,and green sinking spider.
they are not bedding yet where i fish ,although i have caught a lot of fish at the beds, no sign of fanning yet.






gators make good boots

The things that memories are made of. Y'all are just too exciting to fish with. Please do me a favor, don't invite me to go fishing with ya. I can't take all that excitement.

"gene"

Large bass poppers (Size 4) against the trees in 2 to 3 feet of water from 0630-0800. Size 8 yellow sponge spiders retracing steps from 0800-1000. Size 8 "Cap" spider fished 3 feet beneath a float for the last half-hour.
Fishing east bank below the north landing in great conditions. :p
Suckaroo!

Pete you adventure sounds like my adventures every night. however normally i hit a wasp nest and the snake ends up in my boat and i end up in the water and the alligator is in my head chasing me as i swim for shore. i am not sure me and you should ever be in the same boat we could ruin a days fishing

Man, I had forgotten all I was missing during those years I spent fishing in saltwater!
Pete

snakes, aligators, and wasps oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Lord I can take the wasp, and the aligator (as long as it is in the water) the snakes would give me a heart attack
