Well David, We will do some serious looking in about a year. Momma is not going anywhere yet because she is caring for her elderly mother who is in her early 90's...... Our home on the water is in our future though. We both agree on that. My current home is valued at $160,000.00 and I only owe $40,000.00 on it. We should be able to wheel and deal in the very near future. It will have to be on a protected bay or reservoir where the crappies are.:D:D:D:D:D Possible Alabama, Tennessee or Anderson South Carolina. I doubt we will go back to cold and snowy Ohio.

Remember....the top crappie lake in the USA is Grenada Lake in MS. I however am partial to Enid Lake, MS and I want to find a lake house there....but have been thinking about just looking for a lot that I can buy and then have a new house built. Oh well.....I can dream and I may just do it someday. I really like Dale Hollow lake in TN but thats just too far away from the grandkids.

I know what you mean about grandchildren David. I have 5 myself. Grenada is good but Weiss and now Guntersville aren't that bad for slab crappies either. Read the article about Guntersville in the August 2009 issue of Great Days Outdoors magazine.

Page 24-28......................"Monster Bass, Crappie, and Bluegill"

"You can catch fish from Guntersville Banks"

2-3 pound crappie and 4-8 pound bass are an everyday occurrance March - May and again October - December

Guntersville and Weiss have my vote.

Little late but it looks like you both had a great time.

I noticed no rod holders on the swing. I got lakes with dinks too. Game is to see if I can catch 30 in a row... then 100.

The swing is on the property owned by the Holiday Inn resort. The wife loves to sit there and read while I fish. I plan on going back about the middle of September to see if the Crappies and Shellcrackers have moved in closer. Either way, just being out on the water is fun for me.

But you were not out on the water...you said you were on the bank....dadgummit you are getting me confused. J/K hope you get back there soon and wear them out.

I was standing "On the bank" Fishing INTO the water! Sheeskalambooska and dadgummiteditall the photos speak for themselves.:D:D:D:D

He said "Can I get an Amen"
And Lord the choir did sing
Preacher man is on the water
Catching fish and doing his thing

One more time for the bobber
Cast that puppy way out
Fish is on the main line
Time to break out in a shout

Amen for some of the liars
better throw in the cheaters too
Photgraphs have been altered
But that's between me and you

I know Bob is good at it
And I suspect another friend
But fishin is just plain fishin
It's "All good" in the end

So we shout an Halleluliah
We are all sinners saved by grace
I'll tell Jesus that I tried
When I see Him face to face

Amen Amen Amen
Is that enough for you?
For all those who doubt me
My story my friend is true.

Looks like you said out on the water to me....the pictures tell me you are on the bank.

G3 Sometimes when I talk I may use "Ebonics."

"Out on the water" means outside at the water just like if we say "That is one bad car" it really means "That car is fly and looking good." If we say "That food was the bomb" that means "Momma put her foot in it and she can sure throw down." If we say "That is a brickhouse" we mean "36-24-36 or better. "Fishin on the bank does not mean I was standing on a building that people deposit money in." These are all "Images for your mind to interpret." I know you are just pickin and havin fun G3.:D:D:D:D So am I.

If I was in boat fishin then I promise you that the folks on here would really see some Southern Slabs.

Usually when we say "Slabs" we are talking BBQ but in this instance "Slab" means 2+ pound crappies.:D:D:D:D

THE AMEN CORNER

I caught 117 fish in four hours FISHING ON THE BANK right by my hotel room. I caught one about every third cast. Most were what I would call "dinks."

93 Gills
14 Shellcrackers
6 bass
4 turtles
