Thread: Mark twain?

i just love it, trolling along minding your own business.. next thing ya know, ur spinning circlesbanghead

So how bad was it this weekend out there? I didnt get a chance to make it out there. I herd some bad reports already,didnt know if anybody had a good one.

Dad and I tried Indian Creek yesterday. We'd had pretty good luck on some farm ponds friday, so we thought we'd have a great day. We even took the Lindy fillet table with us in anticipation. Water was certainly up, but i wouldn't call it muddy, just stained. The ramp at the end of Rt. N was pretty full. After 3 hours of no fish to show, we opted to head home. Talked to a few folks, and some had a few, but nothing to brag about. Think we only saw two fish caught by others. What we really noticed was lots of movement on the lake by boats. Everyone seemed to be looking. We did see the males working the banks in several places. Jigging and using spinners didn't seem to matter. changing colors didn't seem to matter. I think i had one thump, only because my jig slid down a bit. Hope others have more positive sounding reports

Spent Wednesday - Sunday at our cabin at Twain and fished and caught limits everyday.......BUT, we are notorious for beating the water and that's what we did. We tightlined steep banks, jig n' corked, and then broke out the rigs..... caught fish using every method and there was no real pattern other than scattered. I can tell you we touched almost every dang frop of water on the lake throughout the lake, but it was a great couple of days.

Missed out on meeting Greg (South Point) but it sounds like he had his hands full......... sorry bud, one of these days.

U

Went up last weekend fish alot of water ended up with about twenty keepers for the weekend fished banks and trees in about 15fow

My report is the same as Route U. They are scattered! Fished Indian/Little Indian on Saturday. We had to work hard for our 10 keepers.

ya, we had a rather frustrating weekend, too. the worst part was all the stupid people driving and boating stupid! dang, the full moon had to be to blame!
then my steering transmission in my motorguide wireless took a big ol poopy!banghead but after disassembling the wohole thing and realizing I can't fix it, I decided to make me a tiller steer troller

I got some looks out on the water, now! but at least we were fishin again. while we caught a lot of dinks, the 10 keepers we caught were nice, my wife caught a 13.5 inch spawned out female and my mom got a 12incher. both pullin cranks and both were their bestcrappies yet.heres my moms best one, didntget a pic of jens

I aso learned how to keep your boat deck clear of crappie nibbles, bring the dog! she ate every nibble I spilled! Lmao! she got sicker than hell on sunday, so maybe not the best idea anyhow.
Robbie, I sure wish I could have met with ya. I was sure looking forward to it but poo happens, right?
we need to get that CDC tourney on the calandar so we can all meet up and get some fishing done!

Fished everyday last week. Had a slow time on the trotlines but did manage one 35 lb. blue. As for the crappie bite, we slammed em. Had several over a pound and the rest weren't far from it. It was one of the best weeks I've ever had. Friday we found some males on the bank that were decent but smaller than the rest of the week. Wanted to get a look at what might be happening late this week or early next week. We caught all of our big fish in 20 to 25 feet of water between 5 and 10 feet deep. the only thing we had any consistent success with was a red and chartreuse jig with a white nib. Also anybody going anytime soon may want to give their motor a drink of clean water when they get home. I've heard water described as chocolate milk before, but the water around south and middle fork was more like chocolate pudding. I'd also like to thank the folks at the merc dealer in Perry. Wednesday a gasket in my lower unit failed and I had milk running out of it when I took it out for a lunch break. I went over to see them about getting it fixed. They were to busy but instead of telling me to come back another day, they sold me the things I needed and loaned me the tools I needed to fix it myself. Saved me alot of money and kept me on the water. I can't speak highly enough of those folks. Hope this is helpful and good luck.
