    Default NYE on Truman - Guided


    On NYE we hooked up with an old Air Force friend and owner of Just Another Crappie Bait Company. I have only fished around Mile long bridge, near Long Shoal and out of Windsor Crossing. I wanted to learn new water and about my new investment. Dave Townsand took the time to educate me on the lake, the depths, the channels and the 100s of stake beds that exist near Sparrowfoot Campground. The wind was nice to us for the early part of the trip and then picked up making it hard to pick off the last few keepers. He taught Amy and I how to use Livescope and what it brings to the game.

    Now before you start bashing me about Livescope, save it! I've heard enough on FB. You can bash all you want, but keep in mind, you don't know me and you don't know what I've done in my 51 yr life. I learned a lot from Dave and saw many things I didn't see even with my down and side scan.

    We put 3 limits in the boat with 15.5" being the biggest and many in the 14+ range. It was a great end to an OK year. It surely made up for my truck engine going tits up on Christmas day. Pictures to come!

    I was sure I wouldn't, but it's amazing the amount of hate there is. I was thinking back to when I used to ice fish pre-sonar. Well, I would hand drill a grid of holes jig, move, jig, move all day long. Then I bought a gas auger and sonar. My catch ratio went way up. Instead of blindly jigging holes, I'd drop the sonar in, look, jig or move. At a tourney one year I caught 20 fish. The next year I put 50 perch on the ice. All because I could watch them react to my jig. Sounds like LS, but only not straight down. I landed this trophy laker using sonar.Name:  FB_IMG_8674187388811733295.jpg

    Check out the Crappie.com fleece shirts! I thought they were going to be just 1/4 zip long sleeve shirts and when they got here, I was even happier with my purchase. They run a little big, so if you don't want to swim in it, consider downsizing. I normally wear a 2X, but I'm sure an XL will work fine.
