I'm still working on holding the fish without dropping it.! Seriously!

Peke, from what I've seen here on the forums, you're a pretty sharp cookie. You'd pick it up with no problem, I'm sure of that!

OkieDon, Maybe....I just don't get to go fishing much. I have gone more this year than any other year though! Usually I just get to go one or two times in the summer. I am working on that though. We think we may have found a house in the Eufaula area for when my husband retires. Whoo hoo!

Watch out then! I'll be a fishing fool! :D
I'll be calling EB so much he will be screening his calls since I'll be driving him crazy! :D

Getting ready to jump in the truck and head that way....I love the weekend holidays and the crowds where most don't....I am there every weekend and can fish anytime....This weekend is more a playdate!!!.....Remember...NO WAKE....means...NO WAKE....honestly...I have seen I bet ten times the number of bass boats buzz the areas around bridges than those huge loud offshores.....See ya out there and have a safe Fourth!!!!

I had trips Thursday and yesterday and caught 45 keepers Thursday and 64 keepers yesterday. We were dippin standing timber in 3-10 FOW fishing 3-4ft deep. We were using yum vibra king tubes, black and chart, lime and chart, black and pink. We had about 4-5 inches visibility. Where ever we could find the cleanner water the bite was better, we never caught more than four keepers off of any one tree. It was two very good days of fishing. Good fishing

I guided yesterday at a new area that I have only fished a couple of times. We fished dutchess creek and caught 25 keepers. We fished standing timber in 8-13 FOW with minnows right off the bottom. With the clear water we were seeing if we could catch some big black crappie. 22 of the 25 crappie were blacks, all were from 10-12 inches long. I think brush piles in the the right depth of water is the key over in that area of the lake. But it was a good challenge to get out and fish a new area! EB

anyone still having great luck with jigs?....I have fished the last two weekends with nothing but jigs, and just have not had much luck....they feel sluggish when they hit it...it is more of a pull than a hit...just about to go with nothing but minnows.....maybe it is the water coming up and down all the time....More flooding in the oklahoma city area towards eufaula...so looks like rising water again

Last week I had two of the roughest trips I have ever had guiding. It seemed like every thing I did was wrong. It was hard nose crappie hunting very little catching. Went out today to see if I could locate some fish for a trip Friday? I ended up catching them in 20-25 FOW fishing 15ft deep, spider-rigging minnows. It was a real confidence booster to get on some fish. I caught my limit in 3hours. I had some fish up to 14 inches. The only reason I was fishing that deep is because of my electronics. I guess the tip of the day was "trust your electronics" EB

yOU SOLD YOUR GOOD ELECTRONICS Brian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
