And I can already tell I'll be taking a lot of advice from you and the others on here .
Maybe I can turn this around. Thank you all for being on here with Y'alls experience .
Looking forward to getting going now that I'm home catching up on a lot of years traveling I dreamed about it.
Posted in the NC part several already said my area was loaded with Crappie.
The little lady I ran into I'm fishing with her husband pass with Covid.
They moved to the next river down from me bought a house set the whole place up and the boat for him to go fishing then she got into it. He was in a wheel chair. Took the door off the pontoon had a ramp made, built a boat house even have the electric fish cage to scale the fish. 21 foot tritoon set up totally for fishing. Never seen anyone have a set up like that before. They fished like that for 10 years according to her.
Their truck was set up for the wheel chair she sold it after he passed, she could not drive it . She don't have a way to get it anywhere she had not fished in over a year. Then I popped up. LOL We are just friends GF does not have one issues with me fishing with her, both are Christians her and my GF. I'm just a farm boy that loves having fun.
I've helped her rig the rods up, added one of those 8 rod holders that are about 175 dollars, Adding another live well for up front, running back over there Tuesday getting the boat to the shop. I'm her new transportation director since she sold their truck and lit her up again being able to fish. Boat house has a ton of minnows under it she dumps the plates there after she's finished eating, three throws of a small 6 foot net you have 2 to three dozen your ready to go. Just like my dock, she was kind enough to allow me to come on her boat and we have had a blast the last two weeks. Keep telling her she cost me a lot of money, meaning buying the new Lowrance and AT we laugh about that. Ill do anything in the world for her now help her working on the boat, boat house and dock. She can drive it didn't understand the live scope now she has new drive to take it out by herself and she knows the place we burned them up the other day and several others. Fun seeing her smile using the boat again and doing what she loves. Fish.
Who knows . Talking with one of those dock owners you might end up with a new fishing buddy that loves to fish more than you do.
All it is , is respect . Other than those three rods stolen and the cooler I used for putting the cats I catch off the end in I consider that par for 14 years having the dock up. Those are frog pond lights facing down on every poll. I light the water up at nights but don't remember ever seeing anyone fish after dark.
I'm solar powered myself. Don't mind getting up early its 4.46 now but age and that couch will win hands down around sunset. LOL
I'll try dock shooting on your word next time I go out which is Monday. All three of us are going weather providing.
Take a lot of pride in my dock, enjoy a lot of sunsets cookouts and fire pits off it.
I know most of us are top notch folks there's always a few but the good ones always out weigh the bad.
Fish, enjoy, have fun, and if its over 10 pounds,,,,, its mine.
