Crow eating fool

[Danny Lang]

Ok so that’s said about eating crow, I stopped and got minnows today on my livescoping trip, stopped at the first spot dropped a slip cork rig down and it went down fast, caught my first crappie on a minnow while livescoping. Then I pitched that next minnow for hours, without a bite. Then I grabbed my jig and started catching the fire out them, in about 2 hour had a limit with the jigs. So I will have to agree with most of you fellows on here about minnows while livescoping, lots easier also. So when it time for old dano to eat some crow I am man enough to admit it.. Sometimes the learning curve, I have got to try it myself. Thanks guys.

Could have easily been the other way around.

Could have easily been the other way around.

And some days they don't want either one.

Superdave it was a very hot 91 degrees today, too hot, but windy, windy , windy. White capping, skiers, boat traffic it was a rough day, plus did not put my plug in my boat when I launched, so had to put it back on trailer and get all the water out, before I could go. Looked like it was the first time I ever put a boat in. Anyone ever forgot to put their plug in their boat?

I have lost count of the times. Put a drain with a check ball on this boat. It works pretty well in the event. When I bought the boat it had a piece of masking tape across the windshield that had don't forget the plug in marker. It was rather unsightly. I decided to clean it off of there. It was quite the chore. Of course the next time I launched I did so without the plug in the boat. I used that as my test of the ball check drain. I would have to pump out about 10 gallons every 30 minutes with the bilge pump. It is nice to know that it does work in the event I leave the plug out

Jack never heard of a check value for a boat drain, I will have to check that out.

Found this one at Bass Pro. It seems to be an updated model from the one I have

I have a dry box in the boat behind the drivers console seat. Inside the dry box is a plastic cup with the main plug and the ignition key. The plug is on top of the key, so I must remove the plug to access the key. Once in my hand, I know where it goes. Same thing for the lanyard kill switch.

Danny I have a post I'm writing now but needs time to complete. I relates to our experiences shiner fishing.........the anomalies not the norm. Anyway about 7 years ago, right before we got the Tropical Storm-Hurricane flurry here on the Gulf Coast year after year even on Ross Barnett, that summer if you didn't fish shiners you didn't catch fish. I think we are in the same scenario today. I think the El Nino was building then too, maybe has something to do with it?
