    Default Really good day @ LP 05 08 19


    Another odd day. Level back up and the water temp dropped to 68.4*F. Got to the lake a little late - had to see the ending of my Kung-fu movie. Leaving the marina I caught the ire of a bass guy because I wasn't obeying the speed limit. Just laughed to myself - started already - didn't even acknowledge him (probably got him madder). Not too much pressure and I decided to hit the spot I finished with on the last trip. Marked it and started to catch some nice fish. Bass guy comes over and parks right in front of me. That was my sign to move on - disappointing - and one of the reasons I don't stay stationary. Started trolling and had another bass boat scoot across my path. Kept my sanity and kept on fishing. Went over to talk to Darrion - he was fishing for Crappie. got back on the troll, headed for "road bed" and BINGO found big 10s stacked up in 15 to 24 FOW. Couldn't leave this area with so many quality fish. And I didn't lose any jigs today!!!!!

    Nice haul as usual! Looks like it’s about time to tie some more up.

    Beautiful fish!

    I know it is a big lake, but do you ever recognize any of your fish as repeat catches? Just curious. When I used to bass fish a lot as a young man I would occasionally re-catch one with recognizable features. Sometimes in the same spot, sometimes in a completely different part of the lake. I haven't noticed it with panfish since I usually only release the really big ones (which aren't usually even the size of your photo subjects!) or those too small to fillet. I really only get out to fish 2 to 4 times a year these days with all of the other family activities going on.

    It's the 90% of bass guys that give the other 10% a bad reputation.

    I had a little better evening as far as boat traffic goes, only saw one boat fishing near me and the young gentleman seemed more interested in his female companion than he did the Bass. The yellowish patch on the tail of a lot of your fish caught my eye this morning, and looking back at my pics from last night, a couple of mine had the same coloration. Breeding attire I assume, just another reason I like catching these little fighters, they are a palette of color.

    Thnx guys - always appreciate the comments

    Lagging badly Matt - don't have any jigs poured to tye…. Put some girth measurements on 3 of the pictures.

    Cc - I don't know if I have re-caught any of the fish pictured. No two CNBG are alike - they all have distinctive coloration patterns on their cheeks. I have seen it done before - in one day. Early morning me and my mentor, Big Jim, fished a 35" rock pile and he lost a nice fish. Came back to the spot, late afternoon, and he caught the fish with the lost jig in it's mouth. You need to change that 2-4 times a year - real quick. Thank you for responsible culling.

    Stan - I think it's a trait of the original sub species of the Florida strain CNBG. These CNBG always amaze me in their coloration & patterns - one of the biggest reasons I take so many pictures - looking for the "perfect CNBG".
