Real Good Times

[Ketchn]

In a world with lots of bad news and lots of not so fun things going on it sure warms my heart to run across a smile and a good attitude . My friend Cellis invited me to visit a spot here in town that is often overlooked , or I guess I should say he accepted my invite to show him what it has to offer .
Anyway we met up late morning and hit it until a bit after lunch and I did my best to put him on some of my locations there I like . First stop was a bit pale on numbers and size but it typically is an afternoon spot . Next spot is a sometimes there are good fish in it and some times not . Lots of bites there and again no real size to them .
As they say third time is a charm ....third stop was sling festival with a fair number of good fish in the mix and a constant bite !
Hit spot 4 and my friend put a hurt on some nice quality fish while i struggled terribly and even went so far as to ketch a DRUM !
Last stop of the visit was open water and the fish were there and decent size and semi cooperative . It was purely recreational crappie fishing and we let them all swim on .
Sure was a jim dandy day out there with a nice guy and some decent bites . It's been 2 years since I have had the chance to chase them there in a boat and to be sure it brought back some good memories .
Thanks sir for the boat ride and hope it met with your expectations . Gotta love not a SINGLE crappie boat except us out there .
KABOOM is the word
p.s. best fish seemed to be holding well in water around 10 foot deep btw . brush piles and docks and jigs . pretty much the norm for that lake .

Nice catch. Those are the same colors I’m using too.

Funny you mentioned drum. I am averaging one drum every trip. Three on Saturday. Dem goo fights hard and the color is right. Just can’t bring myself to clean one.

i dont ketch many anymore ,but that lake is way under fished and way full of fish . it has a mix of about everything in good numbers in it in this part of the world . i managed a really fat yellow bass that visit as well

I had a great time as usual, Ketchn! Caught fish at every stop. Some were better than others, but that third spot though was the honey hole. You dropped the hammer on them there while I mostly kept the dinks off you (haha!).

Appreciate the invitation. It was a lot of fun packed in to about 3 hours on the water. Next time I'll text my trailer tags to you instead of a co-worker. That might give us some more time to fish.
